Is only G.SKILL supported for a 64GB DDR4 configuration on Gigabyte motherboards?

I am looking into buying this motherboard from Gigabyte: GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5 . On the website they of course claim that it supports 64GB DDR4 in 4 modules. However, when you look up the memory support list you will not find a supported 64GB memory configuration for anything else than two kits from G.SKILL. I was specifically looking into the Corsair Vengeance modules, but they only go up to 32GB on this list.

Is it really the case that no manufacturers apart from G.SKILL are currently capable of producing 64GB kits (4 modules) compatible with Gigabyte??

Thanks for your answers. On pcpartpicker I can see a few 64GB (4x16GB) Corsair Vengeance modules listed as compatible for that motherboard. However, 64GB (4x16GB) kits from Corsair are not really available on the market in my country. Therefore, I need to mix two 32GB kits, ultimately.

So:
Would you advise against getting one 32GB kit (2x16GB) now and another 32GB kit later?
Should I expect problems from mixing 2 kits with the same parameters, but which are bought in different years?

By the way, I am not able to get G.SKILL modules, because of limited availability on my local market (the Netherlands).
