No it will not work on an x99 board. It will be viewed only as a single x4 drive.
Basically this board is useless if you are wanting to boot from a RAID array as Intel doesn't have any really viable m.2 drives to put in it that will use VROC. It is useful for a place to put extra storage devices and running them in RAID. So if you are moving away from SSD or HDDs and are going full m.2, sure it is useful, but if I could return mine I would.

Not true I booted 4x Intel 900Ps in RAID 0 with the M.2 converter. I also ran 2x of these cards RAID 0 with 8x intel 900ps but you can't boot it because it spans 2 VMCs.

I set my X16 up with 4 960 Pro 2TB drives as individuals so each is running X4 and 8TB on the card.
One 960 Pro 1TB is on a Dimm2 card as boot OS.
All sata drives have been removed with one removable drive bay still connected for odd jobs and secondary OS.
I'm happy with the X16 as it is.
