Yep, when building my latest workstation, I went with a pair of ("regular") SSDs (RAID1) for my data. Later, I decided to add an NVMe for the OS for the additional speed. I then went and encrypted all of the drives (via LUKS), however, which basically killed any additional performance I would've gotten from the NVMe drive. I would have been just fine as well off with only the SSDs and without the NVMe drive.
