I really hope the new motherboard has nvme slots, and maybe more USB ports. SATA would be nice too.

Yes. Also hibernation, faster boot times, and adjusting fan curves without recompiling would be nice.

I see it similarly. However, I could become weak if the new system has certain advantages and is offered at a favorable price. There are a lot of things that could be improved on the current system.

I would say, Power11 is more like early 2026.
Availability of POWER9 was 2018 and Power10 2022.

I guess Solid Silicon has the related blobs of the Power10 reverse engineered. For this reason, they may not sell the CPU as Power10 and call it S1. I honestly don't see any company launching a new CPU in such a short time. The PowerISA 3.1 has only been around since 2020.

What kind of regressions?
I do have regressions. But these do not interfere further.

Didn't the Raptor Computing Twitter indicate that a Power10 was a huge CPU that would necessitate a single socket EATX motherboard? I want a Blackbird II: Free Software Boogaloo as much as anyone, but am tempted to think the person delivering the info has mixed something up... maybe a LibreSOC design at its heart, say?

Raptor said minimum size for Power10 would be ATX. I'm fine with that.
He mentioned also LibreSOC as a SBC. Availability 2024.
