The first PCIe slot, at least one of the nvme slots and a fair amount of the IO is connected directly to the CPU, they don't touch the chipset. There's plenty of benefit you can get by using just those.
If you're really trying to get the most out of PCIe 4 then you're on the wrong platform anyway. Threadripper has way more IO going directly to the CPU and IIRC some Epyc motherboards have all IO going directly to the CPU.
