I'm looking to get one while it's still in stock in some places but am not sure on some parts for it.
For the storage, is it recommended to boot from an nvme SSD, or soldered storage on a CM5? What kinds of things are stored on it anyway, and so how much storage might you ever need for it?

32G is the recommended minimum. If you use a data disk (which I'm not a fan of) the boot disk should be fine with <= 8G or so.

What is stored on the drive, though? Or what can be stored on it? I'm trying to figure out how much storage I might need at a maximum
If it's just the OS, integrations, configs, automations, etc., I can't imagine it being massive, but I'm not sure if there's anything else I could use more storage on it for
Similarly, what would the speed differences be between soldered and nvme (and would it even matter)? Trying to figure out if it makes more sense to just get the CM5 with the built in 64GB eMMC vs nvme only vs some mix of the two

Maybe this helps to answer that? https://gist.github.com/Impact123/fb086b391f7d14cb3515144fcbe4785e
/mnt/data is the data disk so if you move that what remains on the boot disk is not much.
I still think you should not get a pi at all. I'm not sure how fast the eMMC is but likely fast enough for most use cases.

SSD with a lite version of CM4 or CM5 module. When I wanted to upgrade my Yellow PoE edition, just popped of the CM4 Lite and installed the CM5 Lite. Booted straight up, no need to reinstall or restore. I also hope a future CM6 will be pin compatible with the Yellow in the future.

I feel like using the CM4 image on a CM5 is a bad idea.
