I love nvme, personally. On the board is always better, and one screw is even easier than four. Because of nvme the only thing holding back SFF in the average use case is power supplies, and bricked cords are decent enough in the meantime.
My only gripe with the NVME screws is that they are board provided, and thus, if you lose it, it is a sad day, they are not standard, and I've got one board that doesn't match up with anything.
Not only that, even though NVME is pretty standard these days, it's a crapshoot whether or not the mobo you buy will even come with the standoff/screws. One of the biggest rollout fails in modern tech history.
