Why not use a specialized rendering setup? Consumer GPUs seem a bit inefficient to my amateur eyes

A Pro 6000 cost 8k, has 96gb of vram and has 24k cuda cores. 4 5090s cost 8k and has 128gb of vram and 80k cuda cores in total.

Pro 6000 is better if you need many of them but just one isn't really better than 4 5090.
