I'm in the process of picking parts for my second TrueNAS build and I'm stuck navigating Supermicro and Intel's selection. I'd like to use the E-2224 for the price and it seeming the be equivalent to what I put in my first system. For the mobo, I wanted to use the X11SSL. It's the right price and has the features I want, but doesn't support the CPU. What is the successor to the X11SSL that is compatible with the E-2224? Or am I way off picking parts on this one?

Should be the X11SCL-F
The Coffee Lake (Refresh) E-2100/2200 are nothing special, they just use LGA1151v2, which is incompatible with LGA1151 used by the previous generations Skylake and Kaby Lake E3v5 and E3v6 (Core 6000/7000). It's just Intel being Intel and deprecating its socket so customers have to buy everything anew.
X11SS_ : Skylake, LGA1151
X11SC_ : Coffee Lake, LGA1151v2
