A few quick notes:
A) the firmware in the RPi 4 has always supported USB booting, the RPi 3 had the ability to modify the firmware to boot off USB directly, otherwise a bootloader on a MicroSD could do the same thing. (Boot off MicroSD, then transfer to USB)
B) the RPi 5 can have an SSD attached via USB adapter OR an NVMe SSD can be added to the new PCIe header on the top (component) side of the RPi 5 with an adapter cable.
The PCIe interface may be the best option *if* a long enough cable is supplied to relocate the NVMe SSD can be located away from the RPi/system board "sandwich". I suspect such a cable will be available once the RPi 5 starts shipping.

Eventually I am going to try to find a solution to having NVMe storage with sbitx.
