anyone who uses eGPUs (w/ Nvidia): whenever I setup my MBP shortly after buying (middle of this year), one of the steps required disabling Secure Boot and another security item via terminal. Is that still the case? Pretty sure my T2 chip is disabled due to this. Not a major loss if it must remain that way, but wasn't sure if it was just mitigating something that is no longer an issue.

Probably SIP from Recovery Mode. This doesn't disable your T2 chip completely, since it's still necessary do things like control your camera and microphone or read from your SSD, but it disables certain protections.

It’s no longer required; High Sierra and Mojave both officially support eGPUs.
