Looking at the SN750 setup, it seems tricky to find the right info online. The guide mentions PCIe options but not M.2 SSDs, and there are issues with the front SATA ports and slot placement. Overall, the mainboard feels outdated, and performance has dropped over time. Whether you're comfortable using it depends on your needs—PCIe x16 might work if you adjust the layout, but the current setup isn't ideal.

I possess identical boards and have noticed an M.2 port, so I believe it should be acceptable.

I was checking about PCIe compatibility, not whether the board has a slot. I wanted to know about PCIe lane options. You mentioned you don’t need a hookey pizza, so I’ll focus on the technical details. Your board only supports x4 lanes instead of x16, and it’s using M.2, which is a bit concerning.

Ryzen processors feature four exclusive lanes for the main SSD. The initial PCIe slot remains unused except for another device in systems built for various GPU setups.

Sure. The CPU communicates with the PCIe card and the M.2 interface independently. If a PCH chip is placed between them, it could change how they interact.
