Again there is no reduction in CPU lanes compared to AM4. There are 16 for the GPU, 4 for storage, 4 for secondary storage or USB 4 external PCIe, and 4 for the chipset to share put as desired. That's 28 total lanes just like AM4.
Chagall/Zen 3 did drop the TRX40 chipset but again the sWRX8 class was only a small uplift from prosumer anyways so I'm not sure the loss of sTR4 is all that interesting or best compared to AM5. The question is whether they decide to continue to release Threadripper Pros at an attractive price point not lamenting why AM5 didn't absorb sTR4.
