You could use this as your primary gaming rig and be happy.
For reference, I also have a desktop 4090 that I play at 4k so this is a good non-desktop alternative to get great framerate at the lower 1440p resolution. I also LOVE the 17.3 inch screen compared to my previous gaming laptops (MSI, Razer, Gigabyte) that have all been 14-15 inch screens.
This thing is heavy though coming in at 6lbs and the power supply is massive.
One thing I will note that I experienced. Don't try and update all of the windows updates imediately. Update the firmware first (via windows update) and then update all of the other stuff. Apparently there is some weird driver version issues from HP and Microsoft where it fails to install updates due to a hash/version mismatch. The firmware fixes it.
edit: One last thing - this comes with a ton of bloatware (HP stuff and antivirus nonsense). I would uninstall EVERYTHING except the omen hub as that is how I change profiles.

Can you give us some information on Cpu temps, sustained clock speed and power draw during tests like Cinebench R23 (10 min) or something similar. Also Gpu clocks, power draw, and temps (including Gpu Hotspot) from like Timespy or demanding AAA games? Also have you tried Undervolting the Cpu yet (12th/13th gen can Undervolt the HX processors, which is one of their few saving graces to help reign in the horrific power draw and thermal issues)? Appreciate any responses. May consider picking this up near BF if it reaches ~$1600 before taxes (which those could be dodged..).
