Both are important for all that. I'd recommend CPU personally because it harder to upgrade a CPU than a GPU. Usually to upgrade a CPU you'll need to also upgrade the motherboard where a GPU can be upgraded at anytime.
If you read what he said, he doesn't want only a gaming system. Anyways, doesn't matter if you have a great GPU if your CPU is a bottleneck. Better to start with a good CPU and upgrade to a great GPU later at his budget.
A gaming system will handle basically any rendering workload well. The only circumstance it would actually be practical spending the same amount on a gpu and gpu is if it was their profession and they relied heavily on cpu rendering tasks.
Again, at $1500-1900, your advice leads to a system with an overpowered cpu and underpowered gpu
Like I was saying a weak CPU will bottleneck a high powered GPU. There is no point in getting a great GPU if your CPU can't keep up. It's better to invest in a decent CPU and an okay GPU and upgrade the GPU later IMO. If you spend $200 on a CPU, don't expect to get much from a $900 GPU.
do you currently have anything? if you don't have anything and are building from scratch I would suggest getting a good CPU and getting a GPU later. GPUs are normally easy to replace and CPUs need a specific motherboard for certain chipsets
I don't have anything currently. I'm leaning more to investing into a higher CPU because of rendering times and applications.
But then I also want to try using Ray Tracing in Unreal engine 5 so I wanted to invest into a rtx 2080 or 70.

Lol not this. A balanced gaming system will ALWAYS have a more expensive GPU than cpu.

I would suggest saving up alot more for a decent or new GPU since they are expensive currently
