@pastrychef good point. I wonder if any of the 390's have NVRAM. I also wonder what the hell Apple actually uses for their no pro models.
Which card are you using? Im on the Asus EX3 using at TB2 to TB3 adapter for an Apollo interface. I've got the same System report but I did end up with this after some time. Hotplug works but sometimes I'll get a failed boot with the device on. Cold boot requires me to the whole unplug the power thing.

Based on all that I've read from vit9696, Fritz, and Pavo, I don't think any Z390 has working NVRAM. I've seen them suggest going with Z370 on several occasions.
I'm using a Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge. I figured it would probably work better with my Gigabyte Z390 M...
Yes, I see the Thunderbolt card in System Information > PCI. Even my 10GBase-T Thunderbolt adaptor appears under PCI. As far as I can tell, it's acting more like a PCI-e bridge than anything else.
I have never had problems with booting or rebooting with my Thunderbolt device connected.
