Where does CPU overkill begin with 4K gaming?

Obviously assuming a high-end (e.g 3080+) GPU. At what level do you think CPU gains disappear? Those who do game at 4K and are looking at upgrades, how high up the ladder are you going?
 
The sentiment generally from people upgrading with these types of questions is: what can I get away with that wont cost me the earth.
Well, the enthusiast in me is all geared up to buy a full 12900K/DDR5 system but unfortunately, overspending on things for no discernible benefit also makes me feel like a dumbass.

I'll wait until Alder Lake and go for something around 5800X level. Be it Intel or AMD.
