Theoretically, that means we can finally use any 10x0-series cards and have them supported (a la Maxwell) when running macOS.

Yes, 9to5Mac specifically asked them this, and any Pascal card will work.

But the 1060 has a single 6-pin connector and is probably faster than the 970 (and cheaper, with more RAM).

The 1060 is slightly faster than the 970, but definitely not enough to worth spending money on it. Just save a little more and get at least the 1070

I want to find a 970 to put in this friends old PC I've been commandeering but they retain their value pretty well compared to AMD cards which is a bummer for my wallet

From the perspective of someone wanting to do video on a really GPU limited computer it's still an attractive proposition irrespective of the bottleneck. It's just a shame the enclosures are still quite expensive, time will tell I suppose.

My worry would be that at least some models route power through the motherboard (5,1 does). The connectors can actually handle the full 150W, but I don't know about the board (given that some people have been able to trigger emergency shutdowns, it seems like the tolerance is somewhere in between).

The point was just that there are options that aren't completely terrible (a faster 970 with more RAM at half the price) for somebody who doesn't want to gamble with adapters (or try to rig up external power). (I'd personally get a 1070 and try to look for one that comes with a combiner.)
I wouldnt worry about it. The draw on a 1070 is only 150W at full load, and it can get 75W of that through the PCIe bus. Youll be fine.

We're just talking about Pascal drivers being a good thing for everyone (no Hackintosh or external power supply required).
