M.2 can run both sata and pcie (nvme) interface
not all M.2 can run both interface for our x470 ulti for example the top m.2 can run both pcie and sata while the bottom on runs pci-e
despite which interface you use make sure to check the actual device max speed for sata related devices expect 530-550 which is the max on sata interface devices even if its on m.2
currently my m.2 is about 3538MB/s Read which close to max interface speed
it would be expensive to buy u.2 drives
i'd populate all the m.2 on the current board before thinking of looking for faster drives if all doesnt satisfy you could get m.2 expansion and plug them to the Pci-E slots you dont seem to be using all of them
or the cheapest work around is having raid 0 on m.2
