We investigate the RG-time integration of the effective potential in the functional renormalization group in the presence of spontaneous symmetry breaking and its subsequent convexity restoration on the example of a scalar theory in d=3. The features of this setup are common to many physical models and our results are, therefore, directly applicable to a variety of situations. We provide exhaustive work-precision benchmarks and numerical stability analyses by considering the combination of different discrete formulations of the flow equation and a large collection of different algorithms. The results are explained by using the different components entering the RG-time integration process and the eigenvalue structure of the discrete system. Particularly, the combination of Rosenbrock methods, implicit multistep methods or certain (diagonally) implicit Runge-Kutta methods with exact or autodiff Jacobians proves to be very potent. Furthermore, a reformulation in a logarithmic variable circumvents issues related to the singularity bound in the flat regime of the potential.
