Ryzen desktop CPUs support ECC as long as the motherboard supports it.
What it doesn't support is registered (including load-reduced) DIMMs, which is the most commonly available type of server memory. Unbuffered ECC DIMMs only.
Unless you get yourself a “desktop” Ryzen that is just a rebranded APU with graphics parts shutoff, e.g Ryzen 5500.
