I'm still holding onto my 6900k and strix x99 board for a render node. The cpu doesn't get above 4.4 without going past 1.4v, so I may take advantage of my tuning plan warranty and send it in, maybe get a better chip. Or might be a worse chip...
Or sell it and get a 9900k, but then I wouldn't be able to add two GPUs at x16. That said, I don't think GPU rendering really saturates GPU lanes, so x8 might be fine. Decisions
