Please open Blender's installation directory and double click on the blender_debug_gpu.cmd. This will start Blender in debug mode and create log files. Try to make Blender fail to render again. Once it does, close Blender. The Windows Explorer should open and show you up to two files, a debug log and the system information. Add them to your bug report by clicking on the upload button as shown in the screenshot below or via drag and drop.

Seeing the files I found this error:
Split kernel error: failed to load kernel_indirect_background

That reminds me T84461: Cycles: Split kernel error with OpenCL

But you tested different drivers, one of which is from 2019 and still didn't work!
It is interesting to note that it works in blender 2.83 so it looks like a regression.
Is this with the latest driver?

Does the problem happen in the viewport preview and in the final render?

Adding last driver version Radeon-Software-Adrenalin-2020-21.2.2-Win10-64Bit-Feb11-Non-WHQL to the list.

Tried with Radeon-Software-Adrenalin-2020-21.2.3-Win10-64bit-Feb22-Non-WHQL and viewport rendering is still failing. (Blender 2.91.2)

I could offline render (F12) the default cube this time, tried the Barcelona Pavillon and a heavier scene I´m working on and offline render seems to work.

Viewport rendering is not working for sure, same kernel_indirect_background error.

I´m already reporting this as a driver bug to AMD.

Configure the user preferences to use OpenCL
Set the Device to GPU in the Render Properties
Set viewport to rendered (causes failed to load kernel)
Change viewport to any other mode and it locks until terminated
