Do the new high power excursion tolerances, associated with ATX 3.0 or PCIe 5.0, only apply when using the 12VHPWR connector or does it also apply to the other PCI-e connectors your gpu may be connected to? If so, then buying any ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 psu is pointless if you're not using the 12VHPWR connector.
 
I’ve not yet seen an ATX 3.0 where The 12VHPWR connector is operating on a dedicated 12v rail so the transient spikes, which is what I assume you’re referring to, should be tolerated equally well using the 8 pin PCIe connectors.
