Another thing you may want to try (if you haven't already) is MPICH or
MVAPICH. I've haven't had a lot of success with OpenMPI and Amber over
the years, but MPICH/MVAPICH usually works great for me.

The issue with GPU error messages is that if you have an array in memory that contains a NAN - say the force array got an infinite force - then things will be fine 'until' the code tries to upload or download from the GPU (or do a similar copy operation) - NAN's are not supported in these operations and thus you get the error that you see. The real error - e.g. 2 atoms sitting on top of each other occurred somewhere else entirely within the code. The net result is that just because the error is in the gpu_allreduce does not mean it is related to something wrong with the GPUs, or a driver issue or even a multi-GPU issue.
