You missed the important part at the end. At _this_ point I've waited another 2 years and really want the new stuff rather than what I missed out on.
Why? More future proof interfaces. DDR5, PCIe 5, AM5(?) etc.

It sound like you're in the second category, then. If you really belong there, that's fine.
But honestly, I got a DDR3 machine towards the end of DDR3's lifecycle, and I have no regrets. I used the CPU/Mobo/RAM for more than 5 years, and by the time I upgraded, DDR4 got fast and cheap enough where I felt I got my money's worth from both my initial purchase and my upgrade.
