I thought IOMMU and Interrupt Remapping always went hand-in-hand. Is this not the case? Does Proxmox have better Interrupt Remapping support for one type of system over the other?

The article is at this point very old and ought to be updated.
For more concise and current information the reference documentation[0] 
is a better start

in any case, i have successfully used pci passthrough/iommu with both 
intel (>= haswell) and current amd systems (ryzen,epyc), so it
depends on the specific hardware (mostly mainboard)

hope that helps
