I know you said it's too time consuming, but it took me less than 15 minutes to get mine up and running with the Argon40 case.
Argon40 has a M.2 (SATA B and M keys) to USB 3 addon part as well. So if you have a Pi4 that has already been configured to boot from USB, this is a drop in part.
I find that my Pi4 has trouble maxing out the USB3 and SATA M.2 SSD's throughput. NVMe seems like overkill.

What I like about this case is that the entire case acts like a heatsink for the CPU and Ram... and the internal daughterboard provides full size HDMI ports.
IMNSHO, it's a no brainer if you already have a Pi... but even a NUC isn't a turnkey solution if you're set on Ubuntu. Still need to install that as well.
Who said the M2 had to be connected to PCIe lanes?

Hence why I said "getting a Model B and a case that supports adding an M.2 flash card."
I thought so as well, that's why my latest RPi setup used this case [0] with this [2] expansion board. I still had instability. I didn't cheap out on the SD cards I bought either. I threw lots of money at a "cheap" board to try to improve reliability but just never got there.
