Apologies for the late reply, you've probably already done the route but I'll put my experience here anyways for others who are thinking of doing it.
I crossed at the Stepantsminda/Russia border on July 16, 2024. Arrived at 530am and getting out of Georgia was quite easy, entering Russia was easy as well but it just takes long with all the paperwork. Total time was approx 3 hours to get through.
From the border I followed the google maps route to Kazakhstan (i.e. via Chechnya, Dagestan). No issues on the road. Lot of police and military activity but I was only stopped when leaving Dagestan. Some drivers notice you are a foreigner but they dont give you any trouble (I had obvious NL plates on my bike). Rather the opposite, some are very happy to see western tourists in their country as they have the impression we hate them.
Spent the night in Astrakhan and was off the next day to the Kazakh border. In total I spent 1.5 days in Russian crossing. Overall, road quality is good, people are friendly, government officials (police, military etc) will help you. Overlanders I spoke to in Central Asia who also did this route said the same thing and crossed no problems.
