Anything is possible with PCIe but some configs are not getting prettier, or as you state, very sensible ones money-wise. The PCIe2x1 bus speed, even bumped up to unsupported PCIe3x1, is a substantial limiting factor for one NVME, and that wouldn't be less so for 2 NVME's or even more add-ons. Also, to my knowledge the FFC connection limits power output at 5W, so you will probably need extra power too with more an more devices added. Again some extra cost.
But I still would like an answer for the "Thermal Throttling" of PCIe on RPI-5. Does it exist as a separate feature or is the one on CPU the only one and considered sufficient to protect the board as a whole, PCIe bus included.
