Confused among selecting z890 for Ultra 250k plus

I have currently i7 10700 and asrock b460 had a lot of issues with this mobo
Currently Gigabyte looks good on paper, but online reviews about BIOS updates causing issues are present. Gigabyte doesn't have Thunderbolt and HDMI ports (Eagle, Gaming X model)
MSI had better IO, but VRMs are of low amperes compared to others. Looking at the Pro series
ASUS has the best VRMs and decent IO, slightly more costly than others Prime series
Also, when I move my SSD with Windows on other pc will need to format it. People complained about secure boot and keys

I'm not sure what your concern is with VRMs. If you aren't buying an entry level board, this simply isn't a concern.
The difference between boards is connectivity. If you're comparing boards that both offer the connectivity you want or need, then they'll both work the same for you and you should pick the one that checks the most boxes for you.

Thank you you are saying i should just see what gives me the best IO and go for it?

Yes, the primary difference between motherboards and chipsets is connectivity, NOT performance. Motherboards in general are not performance effecting components, it's the component that connects all your other components together.
Reading your replay to the other user, you should be aware that tinkering with settings to eke out performance is pretty pointless. If you turn off your metrics, you'd never notice the difference, you're just creating instability and heat for the smallest amount of performance gains that you can barely measure, let alone notice.

True when i tried to squeeze performance on current system i ended up with stuttering but anyways my current mobo was shit since start

Why not a B860? A 250k plus doesn't need top end VRMs. IO is what you need.

I used an entry-level B-series board after 3 years, it felt like I could tinker around a bit to squeeze some performance, hence I thought, let's get Z series
