Help! Should I upgrade existing Audio Rig? (One last time...)

I have a X79 Hackintosh running Mojave. CPU is 3930K (OC 4.2). System is old, config is from Rampagedev if that name still rings a bell around here.

I run Reaper, Reason and Ableton. With the new M1 chips being rolled out and Intel support going EOL soon I am wondering if it's worth going i9900K / Z490 for an upgrade?

My rig runs nicely so need to decide based upon:

1) Time invested learning new build method (OpenCore, manual creation of DSDT, etc)

2) Real world performance gains. How much might I gain in terms of CPU/RT performance?

3) Really struggling with the idea of supporting Intel at this point. I am this close to going Ryzen Win10 even though I have been on macOS since the mid nineties.

P.S. Soundcard is RME HDSPe MADI FX.
