Interesting. Pragmatically, are there any okay-ish options for consumer-level processors and motherboards that are not Intel or AMD?

ARM devices?

The Talos II[1], which is a IBM POWER9-based machine. It's a bit more expensive than a standard Intel machine (~$2k for the whole prebuilt machine, a bit less for just the motherboard+CPU).

Everything in it is free, including all of the firmware, and the CPU is an open specification.
