holy shit the M.2 to PCIe adaptor actually works super well!! I have both the 8x SATA expansion card and a GPU in the server now!!

Cables Managed, if you can't see them they're not there right?

apparently the SATA card didn't have proprietary connectors, but something called Mini-SAS SFF-8087 (to 4x SATA). They're 100cm long so waay longer than needs to be here, so ordered a 50cm version on aliexpress
