Some comments inline.

Out of interest: What is the difference or connection to https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/tree/main/tools/cami_amber

amber is the cami binning evaluation tool (you need to provide a gold standard bin assignment / and optionally taxonomy for each bin) - so for DAS TOOL or other binners, opal is the cami evaluation tool for taxonomic composition - so Kraken2 / MetaPhlan ... in theory OPAL should also work for amplicon data (in terms of taxonomic assignment benchmarking) ... another thing to look into ....
