SDR based predistortion are most effective if the individual stages
are as clean as possible.  That means 24/48V amplifiers for power
levels above 25 to 50 W and 60/100V devices for 500+W amplifiers.

The issue relates to voltage clipping and current saturation.  No
amount of predistortion is going to clean up square waves.
