dosdudes Tool is for running macOS on Apple Hardware That is unsupported (e.g. too old). Still not that hard, check out /r/hackintosh.
And be prepared to swap your WiFi card, intel cards are unsupported, so are nvidia graphics.

Is there a workaround (replaceable card?), or does running Mac OS mean you can't use discrete graphics (which is a major degradation)?

You can use Radeon cards, some are supported and when they are they run decently. But anything other than a GTX760 is not going to work, and I can assure you that the drivers Apple ships for this card are absymal.
Since Catalina randomly decided to destroy access to about 1/3rd of my software (I rely on old-school music plugins that won’t be updated) - I’m gonna link you here to the Mojave tool: http://dosdude1.com/mojave/
This is not my tool, it does require a Mac to use, in order to create the USB boot key you put in your PC.
I have successfully patched about a dozen ThinkPads and Dell computers with this.
Due to the ThinkPad’s popularity - support for virtually every unit that can support it hardware-wise exists. If you have any issues, there’s a great community around it, and personally, after patching, I don’t even worry about .x upgrades anymore and leave auto-update on - that’s how far it’s come.
I literally prefer the Lenovo to the Apple hardware.
