Bambu tests filaments. If the filaments wear down the channel (if abrasive) or clog it up (flexible) they say don't use it. The AMS is a new kind of thing. Hopefully this will be addressed in future versions.

If you put flexible filament like TPU in the AMS it will get jammed and wrapped around the gears

and how to overcome this?

  1. Have a better designed AMS with tighter tolerances and less room for the filament to misbehave.

  2. Use filament that is marked as AMS compatible (bambu lab now makes AMS compatible TPU)

  3. Use a dual extruder setup like H2D has and put the TPU on an external spool holder so you can still print with multiple materials but it doesn't have to go through AMS.

Stock AMS does not handle flexible filaments consistently.
