I just really don't see the benefit of having this crazy fast NVMEs when data access times are not a bottleneck outside of enterprise solutions. What is the point of making them ever faster. Wouldn't increasing the life-time of each block or making the physical peripheral smaller be more beneficial in this point in time?
What do you guys think?

I don't think it's a need to have crazy fast NVME's if you're not utilizing its full potential, its like having an overkill pc for 5k and then only wathcing youtube or playing csgo, I mean it get the job done, but is it really worth it? My answer is no, there is no reason to have the best possible speed for an ssd if you're not able to utilize at least 90% of the speed.

For now, Gen 5's are not going to provide a noticeable benefit. Moving from Gen 3 to Gen 4 is hardly measurable. Maybe for 4K editing? But that's not exactly 'general use'. If anything, Gen 5 NVMe's are having thermal issues that you won't want to deal with.
