It's LTS so new hardware MIGHT be hit or miss, depending. Generally speaking, it runs ok, but its hard to say for sure.
mint has a lot more drivers than a lot of other distros since it's for beginners so they pack in the drivers because a beginner would not know how to find or add one on their own.
Referring more to the kernel itself. Drivers are fine but Mint still runs on 4.15. even debian now runs on 4.19, and arch and fedora are on 5. Older the kernel, the more of a chance of chip sets and other motherboard related hardware issues. That is generally an issue for newer hardware, especially now with the Ryzen 3
