USB 3 naming is crazy.  My understanding is:

USB 3.0 = USB 3.1 Gen 1 = USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 = 5Gbps
          USB 3.1 Gen 2 = USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 = 10Gbps
                          USB 3.2 Gen 1x2 = 10Gbps (requires USB-C)
                          USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 = 20Gbps (requires USB-C)

So a USB 3.0 port is also a USB 3.1 Gen 1 and a USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 port.

Thanks that is a pretty concise description of the state of things. 

Confusing enough?

How's this for confusion? I rebooted and plugged into the front Type-c, haven't changed anything, not the cabling, not the bios. No joy this time not even the repeated bind unbind messages I usually get, udevadm monitor saw nothing. 

I then plugged into the Type-c on the PCI-e card directly. This time it recognized the nvme ntfs partition as sdb. I'm wondering if fuse handles something, maybe xhci mode alias which I could configure when I try to make this an LVM boot device again.

udevadm monitor
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

Gnome-disks now shows sdb1

Now it is possible that the tolerances between the MB Type-c the PCI-e cards type-c and the front breakout Type-c are all slightly different and this is causing a SHINE single high-level impulse noise.

This last semi-sucess was a live hotplug. I'm going to reboot and see if it mounts on boot, but at this point I'm not holding my breath.
 

As for power, USB-PD (power delivery) allows USB-C to provide 2A at 5V
or up to 3A or 5A at 12V and 20V, for a maximum of 100W.  They start
at standard USB 5V, then negotiate what each end supports and if in
agreement, switch the voltage and current.
