So the most important factors in my use case:
8 PCIe slots as I use 8 PCIe cards after merging two systems to one. This is what made hunting for an equivalent so difficult.
5U Footprint. Takes significantly less space, energy, peripherals and cables than before. Simplify!
Tons of ram: 384GB or more - futureproofed for large samples sets with up to 1.5TB of ram.
Triple 4K. Need to watch all the cat videos on the internetz.
SILENCE. This is an audio & music production environment. No Computer Noise. Period.
macOS. This is the ecosystem I use for the foreseeable future as I use specific Apple-only apps & need to be compatible with all my clients in the production pipeline.
