To plug GPUs into old Mac Pros you had to use just special cables that were available on AliExpress for pennies, but there was always an option to use a passive converter from Molex connector to power the GPU, using a power board seems like even more trouble — can't you do something similar and draw some power from optical or hard drives?

It's also important to keep in mind that the PSUs have to pack enough power to power that GPU — server ones usually have plenty reserved, but if your GPU starts drawing more than they can provide under heavy load, you motherboard might get fried 😱
