The core usage will never hit 100% in Dolphin because Dolphin only has 2 hard working threads (and one less hard working depending on some of the settings) So the max. usage of your CPU would be around 33% - 40% if there is nothing running in the background that uses CPU power. (See here for an explanation why https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-why-doesn-t-adding-more-cores-to-my-cpu-help-with-the-performance-in-dolphin)
The speed of your RAM is VERY VERY important to get great results on Ryzen 1.0 because they are bandwidth starved by the way the cores are set up inside the CPU, the faster your RAM the faster it should actually work. Looking at your specs your RAM is running too slow, you need to go into your UEFI/BIOS and turn on the XMP profile. That should set it up to run at 3000MHz instead of the 2133MHz you are running it at right now, that should help you quite a bit it think.
Also with that HD-ready TV you should not go above 2xIR, anything Higher will actually decrease the clarity of the screen because Dolphin's downscaler isn't that great, you will get better results staying at 2xIR and adding MSAA or SSAA.
Last but not least:
Set up your "Shader Compilation" on the "General"-tab to "Asynchronous (Ubershaders)" and turn on "Compile before starting"
Also try playing with and without VSync on to see if that makes any difference
As a question: Why would you block the Fall Creators update? (just curious, I'm not judging (yet
))
