Is there a good brand of enclosures that I could rely on? I am not sure if this is a typical use case such that the big guys would manufacture an enclosure that's compatible.
NVMe is only primarily used for performance, attaching it to USB would negate the benefits. So you would have to look for a thunderbolt enclosure, assuming your PC has thunderbolt and those are rather pricy.
USB to NVMe adapters do exist but I have no experience with them so I cannot recommend any.
Yes, that socket is not standards-compliant. It should have been B-keyed.

No surprises here.
