I've been using a 9700k since 2018 and am thinking about upgrading. I got a 3090 a bit ago and the 9700k is obviously bottlenecking what I can get out of it. Should I wait another year or upgrade soon?

I'd say wait a few months to see what and releases then take your decision. That's what I'm doing personally. 9700k + 7900xtx Besides cyberpunk the gpu is generally the bottleneck at my res (5120x1440)
