Bios Configuration
I got it to work with Windows in RAID (Hard not Soft RAID) on the the two drives. This is possible because macOS is installed on my M.2 drive so it's independent of configuring SATA raid. An advantage of this is that macOS will never recognize my Windows drives. Other than that here is the essential steps. I also set it to XMP but that isn't required.
Intel Virtualization Technology [Enabled]
iGPU Mulit-Monitor [Enabled]
Primary Display [PEG]
ErP Ready [Enabled (S4 + S5)]
Fast Boot [Disabled]
Launch CSM [Disabled]
Bios Version: 2.17.1246.
The rest of the BIOS settings I have I imagine are not imperative but I have included a screenshot of the changes that would occur If I set the system back to normal (note it is therefore backwards)
Installation
I did a normal installation of the macOS Mojave and upgraded to Catalina and can't recall the need to do anything special. If it doesn't work first try feel free to try and change the USB EFI files with my files. that I have attached.
Post Installation
I have attached my EFI folder which should handle all the needs you have. If not it works too slow to be functional. Display Audio DID NOT work with the New AppleALC so use the one in my attached EFI folder. I have also attached My Library/Extensions folder. Uses UEFI Clover boot loader and definition iMac 18,3. Currently iMessage, Continuity, Handoff, iCloud etc. seem all to be working.
Sidecar
The important kexts if you just seek the Sidecar/Handoff/Continuity to work you will need the AirportBcrmFixup.kext. Here is a video of Sidecar working:
