I wouldn't mind getting some of the advanced stuff with a sheet of PTM7950 and modding my 7900XTX to see what type of improvements I can get on my core temp and mem temps.

You can definitely get some decent gains. Lots of folks in my Discord with 7900XTX's on Putty and PTM.
There are quite a few good putties already on the market (HT10000, UTP-8, LTP81). I have yet to test these Thermal Grizzly putties. Will do it as soon as I can.

I have a Phanteks block on a 3090 Ti and core temps are within expected ranges, between 40-50C depending on load and ambient. However, the memory temps still exceed 70C as if they were on air. I've wondered if the thermal pads provided with the block are very good (the correct ones where placed where they should be). I'm wondering if this putty would be a handy solution.

You can expect to see 30-40 Celsius on your VRAM with top end putty and a water block. But I believe you'll want to keep them closer to 55-60 Celsius since you have 2GB VRAM chips which don't overclock as far at cooler temps.
70 Celsius is honestly fine for them. If you do get a putty for then I wouldn't get the top of the chart putty.

This is pretty cool. I like this idea vs thermal pads.
My only concern is if you "overfilled", or whatever synonym is more correct, and it spills over onto the PCB if it would cause any damage spreading the heat to areas it wasn't really supposed to. I don't think it would effect it but it's just food for thought.

It's generally not an issue. I used to use way too much putty and still get decent results. Laptops are where you don't want to overuse it, so don't buy more then 20g when doing a laptop.
You can also use my Putty Calculator of you like. That's if you measure the stock pads thickness, width and length. Or you can maybe find pad sizing guides and use those values instead. The calculator will tell you what log diameter to use and also how many grams it will be (the grams only matter to ensure you've bought enough).
But honestly, it's more fun just to wing it. If you want you can do a test fit without paste or Ohase Change and the. Remove heatsink again and inspect how the putty has spread. You can then share pictures of yiur application and folks can help you dial it in. Then apply paste or Ohase Change before final assembly.
