Is there any particular reason you are using SMBIOS MacMini8,1? I'm using iMac18,1 with no problems.
Using /Library/Extensions/ as location for your kext should be an option, not a necessity, but in some cases there is no choice.. Some kext won't load unless placed in that location. Take for instance you'd want to add a WF+BT card for wireless usage.
All available cards that support NGFF atm need kext from @RehabMan repository to work properly -besides the correct USB implementation through SSDT or kext creation due to Bluetooth using a internal USB-, credits to @RehabMan for his extended insight on building the SSDT and to @headkaze for his easy to use hackintool.
So, I would suggest moving kext there. You would only need Ethernet kext in case you'd want to reinstall system from apple server in recovery, which is weird nowadays..
It would certainly help new comers with a full guide, true!
Did you achieve dual monitor boot with Intel UHD 630? I managed to make them work if plugged after wards, but not on boot
In answer to your questions, I am having NO issues with MacMini8,1. I wanted to try it as it matched my 8700 i7. Now I have software tied to this model so I'll keep it.
I did try to use TWO monitors with the igfx, but no go. Display port takes precedence over HDMI, and the HDMI port shuts off. So it is acting as a ether or, not both. Is the built in GPU even capable of more than one? I don't know, and Im not needing more than one.
