The results are decent.
I've personally tested it on my "psy" fork of SVT-AV1, and it usually looks a bit better than the VQ tune, and it is somewhat more competent at higher fidelity levels.
So this is my first post here.
After about 1 month of work, the experimental SSIM RD tune has been added to the mainline branch.
We've already experimented on my fork of the branch, and have seen good results over the other tunes in the encoder:

They will be available for all presets.
I'm surprised nobody here has recommend the usage of the 2 main aomenc forks (aom-av1-psy and aom-av1-lavish) and my fork of SVT-AV1: https://github.com/BlueSwordM/SVT-AV1/commits/master
It can make quite the difference in terms of fidelity.
