I think the biggest problem would be the CPU being supported for a given mobo. Just remember that Z790 (and the rest) was based on 13th gen.
You would wana hope the board supports bios flashing without a functional CPU, or hope the board is new enough that the manufacturer has released it with a bios that supports 14th gen.
Well that's only EVGA motherboards right now because EVGA went belly up and has no one to maintain their products with the company anymore. Still, it seems that all CPUs except the i7-14700K (new 3-cluster configuration) work on the EVGA boards unmodified, just have incorrect default settings. The i9-14900K and KS seem to work, as well as the i5-14600K.
All other Z690 and Z790 motherboards have been fully updated for 14th Gen as far as I'm aware, and will boot all CPUs except the 14700K unmodified as they are precisely identical to 13th gen, the CPUID is the same and so is the hardware stepping and revision, which means older microcodes as far back as the 13900K will at a bare minimum boot
