I really would like to avoid doing bios update and flashing the motherboard if I can avoid it, my preference is the x570 tomahawk but it seems that would require me to download the latest update for the board before I can use the 5800x.

So are there any good B550 or X570 boards that already have the necessary updates?
 
Unfortunately none would be guarenteed to be updated although most will probably be by now although it's always worth updating bios regularly near CPU launches especially with AMD as there are quite a lot of bugs on early bios that take a couple of months to be ironed out.

Updating bios is a pretty smooth process nowadays especially with board features like bios flashback which lets you recover a bricked board should anything go wrong.

Not so sure about that the other thread about the x570 Tomahawk has me worried, a lot of people seem to be having issues
 
I take it you've got the board with you if so they wouldn't have done if you had asked them if it was possible to do this I'm sure they would have done it for you

Nope I haven't bought a board yet I've been gradually buying my parts but I'm leaving the board towards the end
