For me, it would be a great option if my B450 board goes belly up. I have 32 gig of DDR4 installed and would prefer to keep the system operational for a couple more years with the 5700X3D.
That said, I don't quite see why they need to introduce new boards for AM4. Inexpensive B550 has been around for quite a while now.
Did exactly this, the ryzen 7 died and now I have a ryzen 9 5950x. I paired it with an rx 9070xt and I should be good to go for another 7 years or so
