Xavier is an alternative. Should offer 50% more performance over the Tegra x2 with lowered clocks, reduced voltages and aggressive binning...
In bandwidth bound scenario's (I.E. 1080P docked mode) the X2 and Xavier would provide a massive increase in performance over the X1 chip.

Isn't Tegra Xavier designed for cars though, not for mobile devices?

From what I've read the thing sucks 30 watts, far too much for a portable system.

Yeah it is. But the same held true to the Tegra X1 (Tegra Drive CX/PX) and X2 (Tegra Drive PX2).
Tegra can scale upwards and downwards fairly well in power consumption... Tegra X1 and Tegra X2 were 20w parts in the "drive' configuration, where-as Xavier is 30w... And Tegra X1 was still forced to scale downwards for the Switch anyway.

But... In saying that, it is a massive chip, so it would likely benefit from being fabbed at 7nm which will solve the bulk of issues anyway... But the real benefit would be the big uptick in bandwidth plus a more modern and efficient GPU architecture.
