Pcie clock bufferization

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson AGX Xavier

Hello,
We need to create a device based on AGX Xavier/Xavier NX with a lot of ethernet ports.
There are different ways:
USB hubs + USB ethernet card
PCIe switches + PCIe ethernet card
Etcetera

We have a crazy idea to use PCIe clock buffer IC
The theoretical possibility to get 8 PCIe x1 from 1 PCIe x8. Split PCIe.
An example of such devices:

Is it possible to split PCIe into Jetson like this?

Thanks.

No experience on this. Maybe other user can share their ideas.
