The problem with ASRock and Ryzen is that there are none available. Unless you want to wait until Zen+ MBs, i guess you have to go to another brand.
Well, there’s plenty available now.. this one looks one of the must have for Ryzen high end CPUs.

I’m really considering this board (or the Asus Strix X370-F). Can I clarify if the ASM1184e controls 4x PCIe 2.0 x1 lanes? (2 to the slots, 1 to the WiFi, 1 to the LAN)?
You should really review this board again. AsRock just destroyed this board after bios P2.30. We are on bios 3.30 now and people are not happy with it and by that it may hurt your credibility.
