Thanks. That looping idea is a good one for cable management - presuming the caldigit doesn't bottle neck speeds? Saw this earlier which i guess would do something similar with the display ports https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/Accessories/ThunderboltEX-4/
A dock would also be an idea to alleviate some pressure on just 2 usb c shaped ports (trying to migrate all my cables/peripherals to usb-c) with the x570
CYOA-
Not even fucking about, my Nerd box has an X570 with TB3 GPU loop back (internally even maybe? Can't even remember) which I used for my LG 5K in both macOS and W10.

This is basically what I do.
My PC weighs too much and is on fixed shelving behind the desk. My desk is a mechanical sit/stand desk. I have a single USB-C/TB cable (the expensive Apple one) coming from the PC to the desk, where it terminates in a CalDigit dock which then takes everything on the desk (monitor, mouse, keyboard, streamdeck, webcam, webcam, yubikey, audio interface) and still provides me with a TB port on my desk which I can easily get to and the memory card slot.
What I have sounds like what you're going for... but I didn't get there via the case front panel, the dock solved it. There's no slow down in the speed from doing this so long as you have a good dock (but it looks like you've been spendy in the past and wouldn't hesitate at something like the CalDigit TS4).

I couldn't find any with TB4 on the front panel, the best I found was the one I purchased... Asus x570 ProArt WiFi... This has two TB4 on the back and I use one to carry video too (from the GPU, looped back in and then out on the TB cable). That then terminates on my desk with a CalDigit dock... Giving me a thunderbolt on my desk.
Looking at what you have... I'd be considering just a motherboard change and some minor upgrades to provide the workflow you want.
