Having played both visual and performance mode on the XSX, I can confirm the patch fixed a lot, and any advantage the PS5 had is gone.  There is no screen tearing at all in visual mode locked at 4K, and the frame rate is a fluid and solid 30 fps.

In performance mode, the screen tearing is 99% gone.  I think I may have seen one tear and the frame rate is much more consistent.  I don't know where these people get off saying that the patch made things worse, because it has been nothing but better for me.

Probably different parts of the game

If it is bugs we are talking about and not overall performance, that is possible.  I have not seen any major bugs, but I made sure to play hours before the patch came out.  The difference was jarringly better in both modes.  Like I said, on the Series X anyway, the performance is solid all around.

General bugs within the game outside of that, I cannot account for because of the reason you said.  I also cannot account for the PS5, but I have heard some not so great things.  All I am saying is that the performance has been greatly improved on the X based on my own experience.

The game does clearly still needs polish in a lot of areas outside of that, it was rushed to hell.  If anything, this just goes to show that these rushed cross gen games were never a good benchmark for comparison in the first place.
