Yeah, the best ones out for Gen 3 (ex. the EVO Plus) in addition to all of the newer Gen 4 ones should do fine. 

Hmmm don't the drives need to be faster than 5,5GB/s speed? 980 pro might not meet the requirement as it has 5GB/s write speed.

Why would write speed matter, that's just relevant to copy or install? It can be as low as 1GB/s. As long as the read speed is fast enough and can be sustained.

This drive costs 229USD and will be a good expansion for PS5. I believe the Sony one is a custom Samsung 980 QVO at its core so quite a bit cheaper due to the use of QLC instead of TLC for this one.

I think the 980 QVO or Evo or whatever branding they'll choose will be good for PS5. I think the difference for the 1TB version between the pro and Evo were always around 50 dollars.
