Sell PS5 preorder to buy Zen 3

I’d hold tight on buying memory. If Ryzen 5000 are anything like Renoir the IF will run 4000

I'm holding tight on buying anything just yet. I think i'm going to try and get a 5900X on 5th November then once that is secured look at getting motherboard, RAM and cooler.

What are the chances though that new motherboards will come out (other than X570 / B550) that support anything else like DDR5?

The other downside is that I could get a CPU but then things like motherboards, RAM and coolers run out of stock of what I would like

It’s a little hard to say. My hunch is DDR5 will first appear in EPYC as that will be the market that will see the biggest gain from memory bandwidth.

Probably not a sausage, but what about in 5 years?

We don't know, but you could always buy more capability down the line? It's one of the easiest components to do this for, except storage.

There'll be faster ram by then? My current 16gb 3600mhz replaced 16gb 2400mhz which replaced 12gb 1600mhz...

Faster, but also just more... you can buy RAM when you need it, it's often cheapest to do this.
