I would rather opt for the 5700X/12700 non-k to make sure I don't run into a core bottleneck if I plan to use the CPU for several years.

Yeah, I wouldn't buy a CPU with less cores and threads than a PS5 / Xbox Series console.

That could backfire in new multiplatform games after the (console) crossgen phase.

Honestly can't see this happening. Granted some consoles games are much better optimised on consoles, the PS5/XSX CPU's are only Zen 2's running at 3.5-3.6Ghz. Which, going by synthetic benchmarks.. is around the performance of 6 core Zen 3 or ADL in multi-threaded workloads (give or take), though the former gets their ass handed to them in 3D game performance. Some PS5 APU's that didn't make the grade got repurposed into 4700S. These are clocked higher than consoles.

Passmarks for both -
