Are there any uncensored models that are not dumb?

It strikes me that the uncensored and abliterated models, although they do not refuse to answer questions, have overall poor reasoning and are ultimately quite unusable for anything other than roll-play erotic conversations (and even there, they are not particularly good). Why does this happen, and are there models that can talk on any topic without issue, strictly follow given instructions, and still maintain their performance?
