The official NVMe Pi Hat has been out for months, I guess I should get
one, or maybe an alternative. I just bought a NVMe USB enclosure which
has appalling performance, way worse the USB/SATA.

Does the rPi5 use U-Boot for NVMe. I've had a lot of problems with
U-Boot not recognising NVMe drives on a Orange Pi. The latest Armbian
Boot loader is working, I need to have a look to see if they are using
U-Boot, I'm pretty sure they were in the past.
