What is the final consensus regarding PSUs with the new GPU 12v 2x6 atx 3.1 connectors vs classic 8 pin connectors + converter cable? (zerobytes.monster)

I see that even some new models of Seasonic and Superflower still have the classic design and just use a converter cable for the new atx 3.1 standard. This supposedly makes a safer and better connection on the PSU side? Or are the PSUs that have the new connector along with the new cable better? I vaguely remember that I read somewhere that the classic design may have some advantages and it may be still safer. The issue with the new one being that all the voltage/heat passing through a single connector wasn’t ok.
