Thought you were going to give possible alternative solutions.
Like the current state of egpu. And if the issues of past like bandwidth limitations and latency been resolved yet or not. Possible recommendations, if it truly has become a viable option.
Alas, it's the same old repetitive spam providing no real answers to the problem. I'm disappointed yet again. :(
To speak plainly: just pay the €140 extra for the ThinkBook 16p Gen 6!
> Upgradeable/replaceable SODIMM RAM
> Nearly identical weight
> Same 10hr+ web browsing battery life
> 20%+ faster graphics card (5060 instead of 5050)
The Yoga Pro 9 16IAH10 does offer OLED display options though so if that's what you want above all trade-offs then this is not a bad pick!

There's currently two 13-14 inch Ryzen Strix Halo laptop models in the €2000-€2500 range that offer RTX 4060 Mobile levels of GPU performance with effectively 16GB-96GB* of 256GB/s LPDDR5X-8000 VRAM
Hopefully 16-inch options arrive in the coming year, but if paying €500 extra now is in your budget for an top-end APU laptop with 2X-6X the VRAM amount then the Asus ROG Z13 or HP ZBook Ultra 14 G1a are your 2 options.
*allocated as VRAM out of 32GB-128GB of unified memory
