After a bunch of testing I was actually able to update the driver to Adrenalin version 22.8.1 (driver version 31.0.12019.5007) which also resolved the issue I had with transcoding on Jellyfin 
If anyone ever has a similar problem to me, I had to completely wipe the installed drivers I had and then manually apply the driver file in device manger. And even when I did this, while installing it froze my whole NUC and had to do a hard reset, and after reseting the NUC and ESXi booting up and getting the VM back up, the driver was installed succesfully and the GPU was detected succesfully! The downside here is I cannot have any of the Adrenalin driver program suite installed, but not really a problem since I didn't have a use for any of the functionality it adds.
So far everything works normally and transcoding also works without any issues. So I'm not touching the drivers again hopefully.
