There are only 2 reasons I would buy a motherboard:

  • The current one broke
  • Want to upgrade some other part (usually CPU) and it's incompatible.

What feature would make you upgrade just the motherboard? Especially given how expensive they are nowadays (sometimes even more expensive than the CPU).

I was thinking about the fact that my B450 board does not support PCIe 4.0 which, depending on m next GPU, might not be a good thing. Other than that, I'd maybe consider a mobo swap if I had new requirements like more and/or faster SSD slots or something.
