Oh ok. I havent recognized any difference by now tbh (all USB ports seem to work actually). But why on earth does the GPU consume 75W (or in my case 90-120W) while IDELING which means doing absolutely nothing?? Thats insane!!Normal idle power draw for an RX570 should be around 75W. It may be higher because of what you were doing at the time. Under load, power draw can go as high as 290W. iMac 13,2 is a better match for your CPU but you lose the benefits in your USB function that mac mini 6,1 offers. You'll need to decide which is more important. The config.plist and SSDTs are designed to be used with 6,1 or 6,2.

Wow I cant believe the RX570 consumes SO much power... Just did a stress test and you were right, WAY over 300W according to HWMonitor (thats kinda shocking!)
