It's totally incompatible with Kingston NV3 NVME. First of all - high pitch noise when idling. I've tried battling it with software methods with no success. Second, it does not get formatted/partitioned reliably. In 9/10 cases it just hangs and crashes the whole rPi. Sometimes, the X1002's blue light stays on. Sometimes, the lights go off in these cases. Either way, it hangs.

Tried both in PCIe 2 & PCIe 2 Modes.

Will have to try other NVME. Maybe, will try my luck with NV2 by the same Kingston as it was reported successfully here before...
