Please detail the "many" and provide examples of those having serious issues with LibreELEC ?
Click HERE for some AMLogic S9xx testing done by @noggin.
CoreELEC is using Kodi Leia Alpha - by it's very Alpha nature it is still comparatively unstable Kodi software vs Krypton.

I don't think this applies to the kernel being used in Vero 4K (and ?CoreELEC builds). I did some testing with the 1LSB Quants2D test patterns (http://test.full.band/) and I got true 1LSB resolution. This is almost impossible without a true 10-bit video path.

Beta version of www iPlayer add-on works fine in Leia on nVidia Shield TV running Android and Apollo Lake running a recent Milhouse LibreElec build (via a DP1.2->HDMI 2.0 adaptor) though the latter is only 8-bit output depth and is doing a Rec 2020 -> Rec 709 conversion to output Rec 709 by the look of it. Neither raise the HLG flag so I manually force my TV into HLG mode for the nVidia Shield TV.
There is some discussion on OSMC forums about iPlayer and 4K HLG streams. Getting iPlayer add-on to play those streams seems tricky; but when manually played back things worked as expected.
