Is there an overview such as [this page](https://docs.sciml.ai/DiffEqDocs/stable/solvers/ode_solve/) that lists all solver algorithms that are suitable for complex-valued ODEs?

There isn’t a list right now, no. The main thing is really stiff solvers just need to be ran with `autodiff=false`. BDF methods also have somewhat bad complex stability in comparison to the IRKs, so that’s one thing to note.
