I'm planning to upgrade my setup from a Ryzen 5 3600X to a Ryzen 9 5950X for better productivity. I'm wondering if the B450 Tomahawk Max 2 motherboard can handle this CPU, especially regarding VRM temperatures and overall stability.

You'll be fine with the B450 Tomahawk Max 2! It has solid VRMs that are actually better than some of the cheaper X670 boards. This motherboard is well-equipped for a high-performance CPU like the 5950X, so don't worry too much about temp issues.
I think it should work without any problems. This board isn’t entry-level, so it’s designed to handle higher loads. Just make sure you have good airflow in your case to keep everything cool. You might find more info in the B450 roundup videos by Hardware Unboxed on YouTube, which are super helpful.
Considering you have a Lian Li 215 case and you're planning to add a Thermalright Peerless Assassin cooler, that sounds like a great setup! Just keep an eye on the temps, and you should be in good shape.
