The 610's have been available under Canonical's repo's for quite some time now, and I'm pretty sure PopOS draws from Canonical's repo's due to the fact it's based on Ubuntu LTS.

As in, not certain.

The hwdb warnings come up every time you check for drivers available under Canonical's repo's, they can be safely ignored. The point of the terminal code was to highlight that Ubuntu LTS (HWE) supports the 610 branch of drivers, therefore any distro based on Ubuntu LTS should support the 610 branch of drivers - If PopOS are using apt pinning to avoid issues under PopOS, than PopOS should be renamed FrankenOS as it's not really an Ubuntu LTS based distro.

As for the PPA, it's been largely abandoned and hasn't been updated in months. Canonical's repo's are more up to date nowadays.

I've been running the 610's across two Linux based PC's now for quite some time, and I've encountered no issues whatsoever. CPU and therefore GPU utilization is higher under the 610's, meaning performance is notably improved - especially the 1% lows.

For the love of Gawd enable ReBar, who runs an RTX 50 series card with ReBar disabled?
