This is the important one. keep in mind they only have 4 benchmark results for the 2990wx

look at the average and peak benchmarks. The only time the 2990wx gains a statistically relevant advantage is when its able to use all cores.
I'm betting if you are just working with h.264/265, prores or DNxHR, you will not be able to fully leverage all the cores of the 2990wx, and are thus throwing some money out the window.
all the gen 1 x399 motherboards where designed for 180 W TDP cpus. Of the 4 new cpus two of them are listed as having 250 W TDPs namely the 2990wx, and the 2970WX. If you are going to use either of those cpus, imo you should not use any of the gen 1 boards. The gen 1 boards are getting half ass band-aids at best. Simply put they weren't designed with the new cpus in mind.
what you want are a gen 2 board. currently theyr are only two gen 2 boards on the market. but more will be coming out in the next few weeks.
