I'm considering buying a new PC but I'm unsure which motherboard to choose due to hearing mixed reviews online, particularly regarding models like the MSI X870 and X870E. I'm looking for recommendations on reliable motherboards that won't lead to issues and will allow me to upgrade to high-end components in the future without needing to replace the motherboard itself. Any suggestions?

It really depends on which CPU you're planning to use. If you're leaning towards Ryzen processors, I'd recommend the B850 or X870 boards, as they generally offer good performance for future upgrades.
I've seen those videos, but honestly, MSI is one of the more reliable brands right now. Many issues with Asrock and ASUS have affected their X3D CPUs. Generally, unless you're aiming for the budget or the ultra-high-end models, an MSI or Gigabyte X870 board should do you well. Just ensure you pick a model that fits your budget and style preferences.
If you're interested in upgrading your motherboard and planning to use something like the Ryzen 5 8500G, those X series motherboards are decent choices. Just be cautious with the very top models; sometimes they can be overkill for what you need.
