I found this part about PCIe expansions interesting: "For those who rely on PCIe expansion cards for their workflows, Thunderbolt 5 allows users to connect an external expansion chassis with higher bandwidth and lower latency."
(Maybe this is a feature that Apple has supported for a while, but I am unaware) Does this mean they will be officially supporting all PCIe devices like GPUs? Or do they only mean certain PCIe components like SSD expansions and network interfaces?

There have been GPUs in external boxes, so it is undoubtedly possible, but I don't think they have many users.
