As much as I want to upgrade the lack of PCIe 4 and WiFi 6 on sub-flagship chips makes this a no for me. They are good chips, no doubt, but the savings doesn't offset the looming tech.

That and AMD 5000 series. We have already seen PCIe has benefits for drive speed and I have a WiFi 6 router from comcast.

It does, for long writes. Software load times, not really.

I frequently work with uncompressed obj files. So for me, it's worth it.

Although one could make an argument for PCIe 4 if you 4k game and have lots of load screens. A 2 second average improvement repeating over a 5 hour game session adds up. But you are right, it's not the difference consumers saw with HDD to SDD.

Needs a steeper discount imo. I will keep my Z390 9900k setup until DDR5 and PCIE 5 are out and then compare what AMD and intel have.
