Can anyone suggest a better 64GB kit among those? How important is clock speed and latency in DDR4 case and regarding 8 DIMMs in slots, how would board keep up?

It depends on your CPU's IMC if you can run 2800MHz let alone 64GB of it. If you want to play it safe, G.Skill has a 64GB 2400MHz kit as well.

I'm currently running G.Skill 3000 16GB C15 (4x4) kit at XMP with Sys A. Voltage of 1.05V. Seems stable...
Idea was to go either with G.Skill 2800 kit or Corsair 2400. Corsair 2800 seems unavailable to buy anywhere... and there seems to be no 3000 64GB kit.

Thanks!

One question related to this... actually, two questions:
1. Is RVE support for "only" 64GB of RAM only a thing of BIOS or some kind of hardware limitation, since there are boards that offer up to 128GB support?
2. In the future when we see DDR4 DIMMs with faster speeds like 3200, 3600 or more MHz, will RVE be able to support it only with BIOS changes? Are there hardware limitations on the board itself?

Hello

1. Intel only validates the CPU for 64GB. ASUS may well support 128Gb of memory but that does not mean that a particular CPU will properly function with that amount of memory.

2. The R5E will not have an issue. The limiting factor is the IMC of the CPU.

I see. #1/2: So, it might work and it might not...

Yes. Any time a given configuration becomes available after the specifications for a platform have been defined, it's hit or miss whether it can be made to work consistently if at all.
