Here to report that I went ahead and got Fanatec PBME + Simube S-Hub, Advanced Paddle Module and QR2. It's working fine on both PC and PS5 and I am satisfied with the choice. It's certainly night and day difference in overall quality and feel of inputs compared to standard DD Pro wheel. I find myself clicking the paddles while walking by it just for the feel of it.

To be a bit picky, here are some things that I noticed over about 2 weeks of using the wheel now:
  • Bolts that fasten the paddles would sometimes loosen themselves - had to tigthen these up after some time - they're good for now, guess it can be fixed with a threadlocker if that persists
  • S-Hub compared to Podium Hub (judging by the videos) has less space to hide the paddle cables and the bolts that fasten the plastic cover have space for bolt heads lower, making it more difficult to insert the bolts - just one time annoyance really so not big deal
  • ITM pages on PBME are quite limited - would be great to have more customization options here
  • Fanatec app is a bit annoying - for cars that do not include ready preset of RPM LEDs and LEDs vary between gears, why do I have to go to certain gear in game to set the LED RPM values. It also somehow lost my profile after setting it so I did not bother redoing it again.

Are you using the latest drivers/firmware?
It was a known issue in one of the more recent beta firmwares.
Yes, I was on latest released version already. I cleared the logs, as I suspected they might have been from old versions, but folder started growing rapidly again. Now I followed advice shared by Corsair staff on reddit and it seems that issue is gone.
