I have below build:
Ryzen 5 1500x (will upgrade later to a ryzen 5 3600)
Samsung 1440p 144hz 27 inch Curved Gaming Monitor
RTX 3070 fe
Gigabyte b350 gaming 3 mobo
XPG ADATA GAMMIX D30 (2x8GB) 3200MHz

I'm not planning to upgrade anything except for processor as mentioned above.
I don't play competitive games. Only AAA story based titles just to enjoy the game visuals and story.
Need to know whether my mobo hold back other components and impact the game fps by a big margin. Can I get away without upgrading the mobo?
Thanks.

3600 will be bottleneck when paired with 3070
You should go with 5000 series or intel cpus

This video explains it in details.

I checked quiet a few videos on 3600 vs 5600x on 1440p gaming. But the fps difference was minimal and not worth the money.
There's a huge fps difference at 1080p gaming though.

You didn't watched the video for sure as it isn't 3600 vs 5600 video. Its rtx vs radeon video ( driver overhead ).

TLDR is his 3070 is slower than Radeon 5600XT graphics card when paired with anything below 5000 series or intel 6+ core unlocked cpus.

Radeon cards have less driver overhead ( or you can say nvedia have more cpu overhead ) so if he wants to upgrade to 3000 series then he will get Radeon 5600xt performance or worse from his 3070 graphics card

Actually I have no plan on changing the MoBo.
so I'm stuck with 3600. Then I thought let's check how much I'll be missing if I don't go with 5000 series. and I found that the avg. fps gain wasn't much (less than 5%) compared to 3600 on 1440p.

If you get a great deal on 3600x then sure you may get it as you will still get more performance ( but still will be bottlenecked by cpu ) , otherwise i will advice nothing below 5600x cpu because of nvidia's driver overhead.
