[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

You didn't mention which Broadcom WiFi/BT hardware and macOS version you are using. Do you have a Fenvi FV-T919 or something else? Do you have any broadcom patches or kexts like AirportBrcmFixup installed?

Your System Report > WiFi does not show "Auto Unlock: Supported", which could indicate missing support for the Apple Watch unlocking feature.
EDIT: Apple Support page How to unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch confirms this, see spoiler


I also see other small differences that indicate you have different Broadcom hardware. See screenshot below of my WiFi settings (Fenvi FV-T919 on macOS 10.15.4) highlighting differences compared to your screenshot.

I'm just noticing the differences, which hopefully help you in the right direction.

Regarding Sidecar not working:
Could be related to your WiFi, but you may try setting shikigva=80 in your Clover Configurator > Boot arguments. This has solved SideCar issues for some.

iRamon, all good questions! The easy one is Catalina 10.15.4 (19E287). I purchased the hardware using links from Mojave golden build about a year ago. The WiFi+bluetooth card does not look like what is the amazon description below, which is one of the reasons (along with the differences you point out) that I suspect I have the wrong hardware.

Running the Bluetooth Kexts from this thread.

I'm currently using shikigva=16 I'll try shikigva=80 and report back

Is your GoFlex adapter the original (TB1) model or is it a later version? I have the original version, and it shows up as vendor 0x16 and device 0x2000 whereas yours is device 0x1000. I bought an Alpine Ridge AIC for TB1 compatibility, but if you are getting TB1 compatibility with your Titan Ridge AIC it's good to know!
Thanks.

Same results with shikigva=80
 
You know, I just always assumed it was TB1 because I bought it back with my old 2011-17inch MBP which is TB1. I still have that tank btw, it works flawlessly! The model I have is SRD0001. This thing has always worked with my gc-titan ridge card even before flashing-bootable. Hot swap capable thanks to @CaseySJ- again, before flashing.

Are you using SMBIOS iMac19,1?

The Amazon link to your WiFi/BT card does not seem quite right -- the link shows a mini-PCIe to M.2 adapter instead of the actual Broadcom WiFi/BT card.
 
Are you using SMBIOS iMac19,1?
Correct. I actually started from scratch and used your clean Catalina install mini guide thinking maybe the issue was with my original Mojave to Catalina build.

So I seemed to have completely lost dual monitor support since flashing to modified NVM50. 4K monitor will only work if 2nd HD-HDMI monitor is unplugged, and vice-versa. I'm running the latest WEG and LILU and this was working although somewhat deprecated using modified NVM23.

With unmodified firmware- could run 2 monitors over thunderbolt via TS3 dock.
With modified NVM23- Had to move HDMI monitor directly to GPU.
With modified NVM50- Only 1 monitor will run at a time.

EDIT:
I have restored dual monitor support by changing "boot support" to "boot once" in the bios thunderbolt settings. Both monitors are back running off TS3 Plus dock, but I have now lost boot screens. I have clover boot after 5 secs so not a problem for now, but I worry about performing updates and selecting the right boot drive.
