Anyone have a better idea to sort "T2" Intel systems?

I am more or less done with this guide, but I hit the point where some of my hardware recommendations/cautionary recommendations and non-recommendations due to age concerns for the average person; I do expect experts to disregard my "do not buy" list when the price matches, but this is for beginners; not someone with experience getting this done without a guide.

While I'm effectively done, I'm at a point with the "T2 Macs" I added to this list. As an immediate workaround while I explore a better solution (of which I think I have come to the right fix) I simply notated them in bold with all caps to highlight this as a cautionary note when picking a system to use.

The 2nd conundrum is I DO NOT want to encourage anyone to buy a 2019/20 iMac; they're "last call" Intel systems and cost too much given their long term support status being rather grim AND one of the T2 Macs (in this case, 2020 iMac) is on the "not recommended" lists; the other is not.

How would you handle this issue?

One thing I am thinking of doing is putting them in a dedicated guide section, but this doesn't help the fact I will still have issues recommending the 2020 iMac; I can leave the 2019 where it is SSD only (custom NVMe SSD being pre-T2), but the 2020 iMac makes this a more difficult process to work around.
