can't really speak for every manufacturer but my ASUS X570 motherboard still has a serial port on it. just need a breakout cable and a slot cover with the serial plug itself to get out to the outside of the case.. my ham radio is connected to mine. there are probably others brands that have this. and if you really need it there are 2 port pci express serial cards (or more!) on amazon.
