4. If you can hold out until late this year, beginning of 2019, there should be a new model . . .

Apple announced in early 2017 that they will finally release a new model Mac Pro desktop sometime in late 2018. My hope is they'll announce details at the developers' conference, which I believe is in June.

It promises to be far more modular than the 2013 model, more easily upgradeable than the 2012 (your model), and best of all, will have a new Apple monitor available as well.

From what I understand, the new iMac Pro released last month is more powerful than either of the existing Mac Pro desktops, so what they'll release this year should be quite exciting.

Here's a short writeup on what we may be looking forward to later this year:

Last Summer, I went to the Apple store to see about upgrading my 2012 Mac Pro. I was talked out of it, and encouraged instead to invest a small amount to keep my old model running another year, in anticipation of this new release. I figured, if the Apple people were willing to forego selling me a new "old" model, it might be worth the wait to upgrade to something exciting. Don't know what you do with your desktop machine, but as hard as I work mine I'm quite anxious to see where the new iteration will take us.
