How comfortable are you with Arduino or Raspberry Pi, or using a TINYUSP board??
In order to upload new firmware to a stock Ender, you'll need to either use a USP to flash the firmware directly, or Arduino/ Pi to load a Bootloader and then you can upload new firmware via USB cable from Mac/PC.
I have just uploaded Marlin 2.0.5.1 on my Ender 5... it IS pretty full (the install uses 98% available space), but I don't use BLTouch &c...
I followed a great WebPage detailing how to load boot loader with Raspberry Pi (Link--> [www.fission3d.com] ) step by step instructions easy to follow.
Now I can upload new firmware as it is released....
Happy to support you in your journey!! :-)

p.s. I also saw a YouTube post where someone bent the levers on their X Y end stop switches meaning the rollers made contact a fraction of a second early and that, according to them, stops the carriage bashing into the end stop!!
