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.
