The taco bell blowout of brass nozzles happens even with PLA. Change nozzles frequently or go with hardened high end nozzles.

Could you do a side-by-side image of the prints from the old nozzle and the ObXidian? Just interested in seeing the difference
I have prints of (almost) the same part here, printed with the regular nozzle at the same speed and layer height. Unfortunately, they were printed with Galaxy Black PLA, and that makes it really hard to see the finish. But here's the best I could take:
Also, the feel is quite different, but that's difficult to convey in a picture.
I'll make proper test-prints later this week. Right now I'm out of the office for Christmas.
It definitely can have a big impact, especially if the old nozzle wasn't quite flat or smooth at the tip. Or if it was just worn out from lots of use.
Mine somehow gets worse every time I change the nozzle lol
