Well, I guess you can have more potent PCIe cards now, so you can add QSFP variants like QSFP256 or just multiple connections, without worrying about bandwidth.
That is, if that is actually used somewhere, currently we’re stuck at 5.0, and servers usually are not meant to have connectivity added in, but rather to just have it (more cash for the manufacturer anyway).
