One thing that hasn’t been mentioned in this particular thread, I think: Intel, for… reasons… stuck with PCIe 3.0 for a long time, and Thunderbolt 3 and 4 derive from that. Intel is now on PCIe 5.0. Simply upgrading to that would quadruple Thunderbolt bandwidth to 160 Gb/s (20 GiB/s gross, so effectively maybe something like 15). That’s quite interesting for high-end SSD scenarios.
