But you're not unique:  I already have a second & third NVMe attached,
and they has performance parity with your PCIe 3 open slot, plus as an
external, it is more convenient for sneakernet, remote site backup, etc.
Plus I actually have a workflow use case need for them, not a "wanna".

  I dispute that external drives are equivalent.

Post benchmarks on your system then.  Something that looks like this test I did way back in 2015;

Make sure to also include an NVMe benched on the open slot that's on the slower PCIe 3 bus that you've been saying is your 'future expansion'.
