As a casual user will I notice the difference between the Ryzen 5 vs 7?
I'm planning on getting the framework 13 for writing work, videos calls, and the occasional older video game (hoping to replay the dragon age series). As a casual user should I expect to see the difference between the Ryzen 5 and 7?
With the workloads you listed the only place that you may have a noticeable difference is in gaming. But if the games you play are not very intensive then you will only see a negligible improvement
For that use case, the Ryzen 5 seems perfectly suitable. It's what I pre-ordered myself, with a similar expected workload.
