I also think it is a documentation problem.. Thank you for letting us know. I have escalated it to the Content department. I hope they can fix this issue so in the future no more customers are confused by this information. Maybe they can add a short note at the end to clarify it will not work at full speed.
Yes, you are correct on NVMe supported backplanes, but MD32XX does not support NVMe SSDs. It may be confusing, at time where both NVMe SSD and SAS SSDs looks similar. But description will most probably let us know if it's a NVMe SSD.
You mentioned that you have errors with drive PN# 2WVYG? What kind of errors? Any screenshot?
After trying a few things, it looks like NVMe SSD's do work in the older backplanes, just obviously not a full speed. It did seem strange though that the only compatible systems listed for some of them were 13th gen, or even older MD storage systems.

The errors I mentioned are with Dell's documentation. The 2WVYG is listed as a compatible drive for the MD32xx, for example. This is the problem.
