only 1 stick runs significantly slower

Eh, I think that's overhyped. It does matter, but mostly for CPU-bound tasks. If you are CPU bound, you could maybe see 15-20% FPS uplift (quite hype), but if not, it'll be a lot smaller difference.

Definitely prefer dual channel over single channel, but IMO it's not worth buying a new mobo just to get dual channel RAM.

It can be more than 100% in 1% and .1% lows, which is more important than the 20% avg fps. And 20% is basically a cpu upgrade And since its most likely 8gb SR ddr4 its actually 1 rank vs 2x dual rank which can be a bigger difference. A single DR 16gb stick wouldn't be as bad.

Sure, if you're hitting CPU limits. The more CPU headroom you have, the less impact the memory has.
