AVX & AVX2 are always used if there is hardware support because they help significantly most of the time, and I don't know of any cases where they hurt.
Generally the value of AVX? instructions have improved over time, as microarchitecture improvements help with thermal throttling and other bottlenecks.

At least with a first generation Ryzen, you'll want to disable AVX2 in the x265 command line. It's slightly faster that way.
