I see Robotnik as an entirely separate character to Eggman. The AOSTH/Mean Bean Machine character was a bumbling idiot, and Robotnik Prime from SATAM/Archie Comics was a brutal overlord.
Comment on Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers is a gorgeous free SNES-style arcade racer, built using Doom Legacy

Kind of unrelated but I really wish they’d stick to Dr. Robotnik for everything instead of the stupid “Eggman” moniker.

Eggman is his actual name though. When it was brought to America it was localized as ‘Robotnik’ without the creators consent.
As far as the creator/developers are concerned, Robotnik is the ‘stupid moniker,’ as you put it.

My understanding is that they reconciled both names some time ago, the character’s in-universe real name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik and Eggman is the moniker he’s known for.

They made fun of it in generations.
