Now the sale price is $550, and you don't have to buy two or more. Unfortunately I have nowhere to ship them now.
I'm not seeing TB enclosures for more than 4 M.2s, and they look like simple bifurcation. Does nobody make an enclosure with a proper RoC controller and switching to support 8+ SSDs?

This is all I can find so far. But no idea when it will be available for sale.
As of three months ago ( when this article was published) :
"Pricing and availability have not been announced yet, but the Rocket XTRM-Q runs $700, so you can expect the new TB5 versions to be at least the same or more. I think it will be a while before we see this ship, as computers need to have TB5 to take full advantage."

You will probably have to "roll your own" if you will. Even in the TB3/TB4 space you couldn't get ones like that. The old TB3 OWC Thunderblade was just updated to hold 8 drives recently. But it's not a full-switched product.
I made my own using an external TB4 enclosure and fully-switched NVMe RAID cards from Highpoint Technologies.
No need for TB5 really unless you want an even punier drive.
