> I've considered upgrading to a 12th or 13th Gen motherboard, and while I have no doubt they'd be great for me as a Gentoo developer with the greatly increased core counts, my hesitation is that the new CPUs have AVX-512 disabled.

Unless you have a very specific AVX-512 workload or you need to run AVX-512 code for local testing, you won’t see any net benefit of keeping your older AVX-512 part.

Newer parts will have higher clock speed and better performance that will benefit you everywhere. Skipping that for the possibility of maybe having some workload in the future where AVX-512 might help is a net loss.
