   The ROMED8QM-2T is used in the 1RU server 1U10E-ROME/2T
https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=1U10E-ROME/2T#Specifications

It hasnt received updates since 2021, no microcode updates or AGESA etc.

The very similar ROMED8-2T motherboad has had updates as recent as July this year. 

Anyone have some insight as to why the ROMED8QM-2T is left behind?

	AsrockRack is way behind the Asrock (consumer) when it comes to BIOS updates. It might be intentional, but considering there are a lot of security fixes in the later AGESA, I don't think it's a good sign. For example, the last official BIOS released for X470D4U is AGESA 1.2.0.0. Even the last beta BIOS is AGESA 1.2.0.7. Many consumer boards have gone past 8, 9, A, and are now at 1.2.0.B. I wonder if they're just super conservative, and you have to contact them to get newer BIOS.
