I'm not sure a PCB of such size can be made (without making the PCB actually more expensive) partially with worse and better materials, since the board does support four PCIe 5.0 lanes. The question is how much cheaper would it be to route the 16 lanes only for 4.0 speed rating.

The better materials are necessary for longer traces. You can’t make simple comparisons like this
