I mean if you want the best out of the processor you should go DDR5, You could probably find a motherboard that'll do DDR4 but it's a bit of a waste.
Get good bones for the system imo.
Edit--
Yup a Z790 DDR4 board

Such a behaviour depends on the games you play and graphics settings you use; a limitation can also shift from the CPU- to the GPU-side and vice versa just on the scene currently portrayed.
And I think the more important question is, are you malcontent with the overall performance? With the avg. and min. FPS? Any stutters?
For instance, you can set a framerate cap to a value that is lower than the boundary set by the CPU to get rid of bad frametime pacing caused by the CPU.

Why not just go with AMD B550 Motherboard + Ryzen 5700X and the rest of your parts you can use with that, even your current DDR4
I would suggest doing a clean install of Win11 afterwards which ever way you go.
But even if the 13th Gen can use DDR4, you won't get the full performance going that route.
That's until you hit the limit of your RTX 3080.
Your i7-8086k is still a okay CPU. It can produce 100, or near 100 fps in any games.
If your screen resolution is 1440p or above, there will be very little or no-difference at all.
ASUS seems to be the only one out in the open that is dev. an expansion card that will make ddr4 compatible with ddr5 boards. This hasn't happened yet, obviously
Acc. to some online sources, there is something called an H610 that has one ddr5 slot and the rest are ddr4. Of course you probably guessed this is silly as the single slot can't run in dual channel on this board so you lose out on that performance edge a bit.

that have 4x DIMM slots; 2 for DDR5 and 2 for DDR4.
I remember back when we were making the shift to DDR1, there were plenty of boards that had 2 slots for SDRAM and 2 for DDR1; you used one or the other, not both; obviously.
In the case of DDR4 vs 5; many people would already have DDR4 in their possession and thus allowing them to make the transition more easily, then maybe get DDR5 later on when they can.
Some might say that limiting yourself to 2 DIMMs is an issue all its own; but if you were to use 2x 16GB I don't really see much issues. Obviously if you need more RAM then that then you would go purchase a board that is solely DDR4 or DDR5
