Unlike many here who have their own shop, I'm a contract worker jumping around larger corporate customers configuration & fixing their equipment.
Presently I service three large customers winding down from eight.
My largest is in the process of converting from Mac to HP laptop systems as they require USB-A ports in their systems for security key dongle's and other devices which prohibit the use of USB-A to USB-C conversion dongle's.
I will be starting up a mail-in service for MacBook's & MacBook Pro's beginning in 2018.

The power button (TouchID) button needs to stay with the logic board it was mated to. Make sure you don’t mix them up!
They can be replaced! It’s just a lot of work.
Apple over did the design thinking no one would need to replace these parts. It has in fact hurt them as well with the keyboard failures. So instead of having a product thats designed to be serviceable from the get go, Apple needs to waste lots of man hours to carefully disassemble the case to replace these parts. Or, they need to eat the part putting a new full assembly in its place $$
Hopefully the next major design goes back to a more serviceable design not only these parts but also the display! Apple has a ribbon cable failure issue and there is a new one which is the T-CON boards are failing due to heat as they are not mounted in the coolest part of the system.
Texas Instruments CD3215C00 is a power controller. It is mis marked here and the link to the 15” MacBook Pro with TB.
Review this guide The Ultimate Guide to Apple’s Proprietary SSDs
I really don’t recommend using M.2 SSD’s!
As someone who services Mac’s I tend to see the failures and I’l warn you I see a lot of these M.2 drives with adapter with problems. As one of the first diagnostic processes I pop in my custom Apple Samsung SSD to see if the system works with it. If it does I recommend the power to replace the SSD.
It’s called Port Bonding. Its an old trick to gain more performance.
I agree, Apple missed it by taking away the dual drive support internally.But I don’t think its a killer issue. Putting everything inside also puts your data at risk if the system fails and you need to finish a job. So how are you going to get to the files now?
Just keep in mind the coming Mac Pro will be the first model to have internal dual drive support within a T2 based system! The MacBook Pro’s also have this failing.
You are limited to what Apple shipped for CPU’s in this series. The best you can go to is a I7-8700B
Yes, it will! You killed the MIMO function.
The new mini offers MIMO (two antenna’s), basically you halved your WiFi performance!
