PCIe Gen 4 support is possible with your setup, but compatibility depends on the specific PCIe version supported by your motherboard and GPU. The GTX1070 can run at 980 PRO in M.2 slots, while the 980 PRO supports PCIe Gen 4. Your Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO board should handle both, though ensure the card is explicitly listed as supporting Gen 4. Running both at full speed simultaneously is feasible if the system meets all requirements.

It shouldn't be done because it poses risks and could lead to unintended consequences.

Confirming the concern. The absence of PCIe lanes in the CPU or chipset could lead to compatibility problems.

Choosing the top M.2 port allows access to additional PCI-E 4.0 lanes provided by the CPU. Your GPU and M.2 SSD will operate at full PCI-E 4.0 performance. Opting for the bottom M.2 slot connects via the B550 chipset, which supports PCI-E 3.0 speeds.

On a hypothetical Intel setup without dedicated NVMe channels from the CPU, the motherboard would provide PCIe connections for the storage device, allowing the GPU to operate at its maximum speed.

I would keep the 980 Pro funds and receive a stronger GPU.
