This is no longer the case, source
The changes made in the Ryzen Balanced Power were added into the Windows Balanced Power Profile during the release of Redstone 4. So, you can use the Windows Balanced Power Profile from hereon in.
That article is out of date and irrelevant to Zen 2, even if you use 1903 with its further improved default balanced plan it is no longer correct.
THE IMMEDIATE SOLUTION Immediately available for download, a new AMD chipset driver (version 1.07.29.xxx) is designed to relax the processor’s sensitivity level to boost requests while running desktop apps like those described above. It will modify the processor’s behavior in two key ways: 1) We will be adjusting the sensitivity of CPPC2. If you are running the Windows 10 May 2019 Update, 3rd Gen Ryzen processors will now use traditional 15ms clock selection intervals when at idle or low load. This has the effect of filtering many of these short-lived or undesirable boost requests, enabling the processor to be more dormant when the workloads are light. 2) We will also be adjusting how the processor behaves in low or idle workloads. If a processor core is not power gated and sleeping, the processor core will sit at 99% of base clock for low or idle workloads. For example: an AMD Ryzen™ 7 3700X base clock is 3600MHz, so you would see “idle” frequencies around 3564MHz ± 0.08%. This 99% value keeps the active core on a razor’s edge so that your non-trivial applications can easily trigger CPU boost. While boosted, the processor will still control frequency selection in 1ms intervals. These changes are implemented in Chipset Driver 1.07.29, available for download now. The chipset driver installer will automatically install and enable a new AMD Ryzen™ Balanced power plan for all 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen customers. Users of any other Ryzen™ CPU will not receive, and do not need, this plan.

What is the better option to user as power plan? Ryzen Balanced or Ryzen Performance?
I don't think there is a ryzen performance plan? I don't see one anyways.

I use the Ryzen Power Plan and adjust the "minimum processor state" from 90% to 5%. This way you still get the benefits of the power plan and your CPU will still downclock when idle.

Don't have anything with Ryzen power plan under Power Options, even with the latest chipset driver 😛

I think that's because you're on Zen+, if i'm not mistaken the latest chipset drivers do not have power plans for anything other then Zen2, as i believe, as long as windows 10 is fully updated, everything they had tweaked in the ryzen plan is already in the default windows plans.
