MSI promised to roll out updates for supporting 5000 series chips on all their B450 motherboards, so just make sure you cross check the chipset drivers and the Bios are all up to date when you buy the chip

MSI promised support for 400 series chipset, though the bios might come out in january 2021, so there's a little waiting

afaik, you can update bios with a file in your hard disk as long as you have a CPU that can already run on it
