What would the point of pcie 5.0 be? The past 2 generations of gpus with 4.0 have had little to no performance gain from it. And it will likely be similar next generation. After that 2-4 year from now I could see 4.0 being relavent for graphics cards. I understand that the higher bandwidth is not necessarily meant for just graphics cards, but many other applications. But a majority of sffpc's are used by people with graphics cards for either gaming or content creation.The only benefit, from what I have come to see, with 4.0 risers is the compatibility between gpu and motherboard. It's not a need for bandwidth. I hope 5.0 with a 4.0 riser will not have the compatibility issues that 4.0 did with 3.0 riser.
