If you already have UEFI, but no NVMe support all you need to do is boot into a UEFI shell-script (it’s a thing) which 1. loads a NVMe module (which you’ll need to provide, get it from tianocore), 2. does a device probe and 3. chain boots from the NVMe drive.
It’s not too much work to get going, barely a few megabytes and any old USB stick you have should make do without causing the USB stick to wear out because it won’t have to endure bootloader updates in the booted OS (which may happen if you put your whole /boot on the USB drive).
