From everything I've seen so far in terms of benchmarks the T705 annihilates everything else in synthetic benchmarks but doesn't see much if any difference in actual gaming with these 5th gen NVMe. Their throughput is theoretically 2x as high, but if you look at the specs the IOPs (the number of operations they can perform in a unit of time) is nearly identical to the top 4th gen cards. Meaning unless you are reading or writing a lot of sequential big blocks of data you won't see any improvement at all.
So it depends on how you would use it. For most gaming you'd be paying a pretty noticeable premium for not a lot of return. If you are doing lots of large file copies regularly over a medium that can handle that speed, it could be useful.

The speed difference is absolutely negligible for 99.9% of gaming demands. But if the T705 2TB went on sale close-ish to the price of the 990 Pro 2TB, I would go for it just for future speed possibilities.
The 2TB WD SN850X is also in the mix, but I'd want to see it closer to the low $100s to pick it over the 990 Pro.
Edit: The old T700 is awkwardly caught in no-mans-land as far as pricing goes, and I believe I read it runs hot (?), but it's still faster than almost everything but the T705.
Unless your running dozens of these in a server for your ai number crunching server back end or something.

If going to put it in a 4th gen slot, may as well get a 4th gen SSD. Can get double the capacity for nearly the same price.

I just ran Crystal Disk Mark 8's "real world performance" profile on 6 SSDs in 3 Windows systems. My fastest of drives (Solidigm P44 1TB and Samsung 990 2TB) are only 3-4x faster in Q1T1 random 4k tests than my slowest drive (a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SATA SSD I've had since 2013 or so) across the board.
