just use an adapter... Thunderbolt / USB C gives you flexibility
Can you actually connect HDMI input to a thunderbolt only display? I have the LG 5K thunderbolt-only display and cannot use it with a desktop PC due to this issue.

You'd still use a 5k display in a non-native 4k resolution (surely the xbox doesn't support higher resolutions?), which might be ok for video and most games, but it's not a good solution. I'd just get a half decent, affrodable 27" / 4k display for gaming and keep the Studio display for actual work.
Plus, you can use the additional 4k display as an extended macOS display when not gaming. I mean there's never enough screen real estate.

Would something like this work? Xbox or gaming console to Apple Studio Display.

Hard to say. Those are actually designed for the other way around: Plugging a USB-C device into a displayport monitor, by extracting the alternative mode out of the USB-C connection.
The comments underneath https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30604524 however suggest it might work with some bidirectional adapters.
I hope they do 4k@120hz in the next version!
