If anyone is interested: I designed a new cover instead of the acrylic plate. I broke it because I tried to drill a hole into it to get access to the power pins:
 
I made a new one in Fusion 360 to be 3D-printed or laser cut: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4501621
With it you get access to all pins (power, PCIe, GPIO, serial and SPI) and the reset button. The picture is of version 1. The newer version on thingiverse has larger cutouts and holes.

I've built the current branch which is 5.4.20. You could go dev which I believe is 5.5.x.

I finally got everything together to power this thing via the 12V header and it works
I did a minimal Ubuntu build like two weeks ago and it booted fine. I ran sbc-bench: http://ix.io/2aVd
 
Now it might be something more than a paper weight

It works out of the box. After the first boot just choose to move everything to the connected SSD in armbian-config. I am booting from an SSD and have two more HDDs connected.

Ran sbc-bench (thanks @tkaiser).

ROC-RK3399-PC: http://ix.io/1UXl
Have only glanced over the results, but the Renegade Elite seems on par with the RockPI4B.
 
Still want to get 5.3.x to run properly and get the TPL from U-Boot v2019.10-x working before commiting a wip.
Hoping to get some time this weekend.

Cool, thanks!
