That's all I could find
Wow, it's strange. I don't have a yellow but installed countless m.2 and pcie devices in countless computers, and never seen such a limitation. Ram and cpu compatibility lists are a thing on mobo websites, but pcie? Is this some ARM thing?
It could just be that they didn't test them to confirm that they work and don't want the headache/liability of claiming that untested drives will work. AFAIK one M.2 drive should be the same as the next provided that it's the same type (SATA vs NVME)
Yes that drive should work, as long as it's not a SATA M.2 SSD it should be compatible with the Yellow.
Consider reaching out to crucial.
I needed to upgrade my mom's athlonX2 system when it was 7 or so, and an SSD was an easy idea. But, the nForce4 mobo didn't support any SSDs at all. It's a generational thing.
I reached out to crucial, on a whim -- and they responded. Yes, SSDs were tested on my ASUS nForce4 mobo, and fully supported. I had an upgrade that worked!
The machine lasted until win7 died the first time, years later. I've been crucial-first whenever possible, since.
Ideally if you reach out you'll have a similar response. There's not much risk of support issues, but it's good to get a human reassuring you they have your proverbial back.
