Motherboard Any Mini-STX or "Thin Mini-ITX" motherboards with Thunderbolt 3?

There isn't a board that I've seen and it can't be added.
Intel is super strict (though I'm not sure if that's changed with the whole openness thing) and it requires the TB 3 controller to be on the board and lots of certification.

My goal is to build a thin-ITX system with an eGPU. TB3 would be the easy way to do this, but are there alternative connectivity options?
There may be a cheaper version but using the M.2 slot is one route: http://www.bplus.com.tw/eGPU.html
How can you determine if a given motherboard supports m.2 PCIe? For example, could I do eGPU over m.2 with this motherboard: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/H110T-CSM/specifications/
The manual for the H110T (which should be identical) says the M.2 is 20Gb/s which means it is PCIe 2.0 x4.
PCIe 2.0 x4 still isn't that big of a bottleneck, but it's uncertain if a GPU will work through it without trying.
