I received the Inateck KT5001 card and installed it in a spare PCIe x1 slot in one of my Haswell Hack's - H87M-HD3/i5-4400/HD4600 system running Monterey 12.3.1.
Inateck KT5001 5 x port card (plus Internal USB3 Header) with SATA port for power. Link to the Inateck page for the card is shown below.
The card worked out of the box, as expected given it has a native driver in macOS. I didn't need the SSDT or any patches for the card to work.
The card was recognised under /PCI0/RP06/PXSX ACPI path. As shown in the Hackintool PCIe devices tab posted below.
The Fresco Logic controller showed up in the Hackintool USB tab, but none of the ports were shown, which is expected for an 'External' USB card.

I tested each port individually with a USB3 and then a USB2 pen drive, checking to see how and if they showed up in IORegistryExplorer in the System Information USB report, Disk Utility and on the desktop, which they all did again as expected.
Desktop with multiple partitions from USB drives
Disk Utility showing multiple USB external partitions
IOReg with all 10 connectors shown
I installed 5 x SanDisk USB3 pen drives, in the rear ports, again all were shown as expected in both the IOReg and USB report.
System Information > USB report showing multiple USB devices connected to Inateck (Fresco Logic) card.
Both the USB2 and USB3 controllers contain a multi-port Hub, which serves one of the rear ports and the respective ports from the USB3 header, which were connected to 2 x USB3 front case ports.
The 2 x Hubs use a Via controller, not that this makes any difference to how they work.
The port sharing is not affected by the use of the SSDT.
Sorry but the most I can say from this experiment is that the single Inateck KT5001 card works perfectly in my Haswell system (Mac mini 7,1 SMBIOS) running macOS Monterey.
