Sick laptop you got there! Try to hack it and see if you get same resultsLast year I went as far as to upgrade the cpu on this hackintosh to a 6950x for better performance in premiere, and felt the same as you with your graphics card upgrade. It was a letdown.
I also was experiencing cooling CPU problems last year (even posted on this thread about it) and apparently it was the pump problem. Got it replaced for free, loved their warranty support.
I feel (and thats just me) that Premiere isnt taking full potential with MacOS and the systems (maybe only for rendering).
My playback problems were with sony a7iii 4k footage, when using clips in reverse, combining with speed ramps and normal speed, it would just dropframes like crazy. Just solved it by "pre" rendering it from "in to out" - even added a shortcut for that if you use the previews as 422HQ those exports may even get faster.
My RAM will soon be 64GB - also hoping to see less system crashes. did a memtest and they seem to be fine, so, hopefully those crashes during Finder navigation and dragging files will soon be gone
