But that solution is quite expensive and not worth it even if it ends up being an option. Apple really screwed up here, still hoping it gets resolved sometime.

I doubt this is going to happen. Apple has already replaced the AMD GPUs used in their M1-based Macs with their own that's integrated into the SoC. All Macs in the future will use Apple GPUs and I highly doubt Apple will ever allow external GPUs to be supported over Thunderbolt.
And Nvidia certainly isn't going to release drivers for macOS anymore. Apple and Nvidia had a falling out years ago and High Sierra was the last version Nvidia released any "web drivers" for.

Well, I'm not sure where to put this but something good did happen.
After yesterdays' Big Sur update I can now stream 4K/HDR content with my Mac Mini.
So,... seems enhancements are still forthcoming. I'm really glad I decided to pair this Mac mini with a 4K monitor now.
LilyAarseth:
I've been able to do 4K HDR before the update with the HDMI out. Out of curiosity, are you using an external TB/USB-C adapter (Which from what I understand hasn't supported HDR before) ?
bhampster:
I tried from the HDMI and the USB C to HDMI adapter.
The problem isn't with the 4K HDR output ... it's with the audio output which is locked to 48Khz for everything.
Which is only a problem in some cases.... Like if you wanted to listen to a CD without changing the sample rate or a High Res Audio file.

No go with the next beta either. It looks like a hardware issue.
