I wonder, what is easier: Convincing data centre operators to not worry about the power draw and airflow impact of those LEDs on the fans, or convincing gamers that LEDs don’t make things faster?
Maybe a bold strategy is in order: Buy cooling assemblies exclusively from Noctua, and exclusively in beige/brown.
There’s no non-reference designs of Radeon PROs, I think. Instincts, even less. If the ranges bleed into each other they might actually sell reference designs down into the gamer mid-range but I admit that I’m hand-waving. But if, as a very enthusiastic enthusiast, you’re buying something above the intended high-end gaming point and well into the pro region it’s probably going to be a reference design.
And as a side note finally they’re selling CPUs boxed but without fan.
Data centers don’t give a shit if your GPU has LEDs. Compared to the rest of the server, the power draw is nearly insignificant. And servers push enough air that imperfect flow doesn’t matter.

AMD making cases and fans? First time I’ve heard, even box versions with fans could be made apple way, they can start shipping only SOCs they selling
