I have a 2tb 2400/1900 nvme drive

Os and all on it

Is there any advantage to picking up a 1 tb 4800/3500 boot drive and use the old 2tb for game storage

Does having a faster os/boot drive have an impact on in game performance?
 
I don't think you'd notice a difference either way. If your games are on the "slower" drive, you're going to be limited by the slower drive when you load game assets just like you are now. For general purpose computing, I don't think you'd see the difference between the two drives outside of benchmarks.
 
You won't see a difference. I am still using a old Samsung nvme 256gb drive for windows. I use my 1tb 980 pros and inland gen4 drive . for my game drives
 
No, even for games. The only time drives like this matter are if you do a lot of large file manipulation, whether video, raw photos, or playing games that have MASSIVE texture files that are 100of MB, your OS and 99% of games use very small files and thus, a standard SATA SSD vs NVMe you will no real world performance difference.
