Are those NVMe GPUs? Where can one obtain such things?

No, there's a specific model of think center tiny with a 16x slot - intended for an Nvidia P620 or T400, or something equivalent from AMD. Cutting the case let this low profile slot in.

Unfortunately AMD doesn't really have any good LP GPUs, most of them are just Display Adapters

newegg had them, but they're VGA only, and NOT for gaming

Depends on if you are space constrained or not.

If not any GPU can be an M.2 GPU, so long as you don't mind the 4x lanes.

Plenty of riser kits available from AliExpress or similar etailors. I've got an old HP all-in-one I've considered strapping a GPU to for some encoding tasks (plex / frigate) but also for shits and giggles.

I did this with a prodesk 600g1. Apart from the hole in the lid, no changes required to the system. (Stock bios, etc.) It does require a separate power supply for the GPU, but it works. I ran it for a while as a portable gaming desktop (switched out the 4130T for a 4770) and it - to my surprise, worked well.
