I'd appreciate if anyone with a a 5.1 and at least Vega graphics that has updated to Catalina and runs DaVinci Resolve could check if they get HW accelerated 10bit HEVC encoding.

You will need the latest Resolve 16.2.2 to check. Export to h.265 Main10 and report back with fps during export (on a UHD timeline, let's say).

I'm still on Mojave with a Frontier Edition and that's not enough.

The 10bit encoding on Mac was added in the latest .2 release. I've got support and good speed on my MacBook Pro 16" – which was expected, but I also read on reduser.net that one guy got his iMac Pro to work too, and that's using older gen graphics.

I'm wondering if Catalina is the trigger, or if there simply are too many individual files tied to the 5.1 that exposes it as "incompatible".

If someone here has a Mac Pro like that and has moved to Catalina, I'd be interested to know. Thanks!
