Whether or not a Threadripper/EPYC will work for you entirely depends on your workload.
They have the advantage of more potential cores (depending on model), vastly more PCIe lanes, 4x the memory bandwidth... with the downside of massively higher power usage and cooling requirements, and lower clockspeeds in the case of EPYC.
I’d look for detailed benchmarks and real-world usage experience with your exact programs/workloads, then make a decision as to whether dumping a load of cash into a new system would be worth whatever improvements you anticipate.

CYOA
Possibly. I don't use Adobe a lot these days and my understanding is my main workhorse (Resolve / Fusion) is fairly well optimised for GPU usage. I was sort of deliberating getting an Studio Ultra a la @Mr_Smyth but can't shake the feeling I would be underwhelmed compared to my already poky PC: 5950x, b550 d, 3090, 64gb 3600 (2x32gb), sn850 4tb
I think it was possibly @ectoplasmosis I was talking to recently about upgrade paths and the best bang for buck/most noticeable increase seemed to be a threadripper.
