I've been using a Ryzen 5600X along with a 3070 Ti, and I've started to notice that my CPU might be slowing me down in games like The Finals and Valorant. I've researched potential upgrades and found that the 5800X3D is highly recommended, but it seems to be out of stock everywhere. Are there other CPU options I should consider that wouldn't require a complete overhaul to an AM5 socket?

If you can snag a 5700X3D at a good price, that's great! But keep in mind, if the pricing isn't right, moving to the AM5 platform might be your best bet in the long run.
The Ryzen 7 5700X3D could be a good fit, but make sure the price is right. I've only seen it going for around AU$400 on AliExpress, which is pretty steep.
You might want to look into the Ryzen 5500X3D or the 7600X. The latter is pretty close in performance to the 5700X3D. People have said the 5500X3D is new and might be a good option for you, but watch out; not everyone thinks it's a significant upgrade from the 5600X.
Definitely consider the 5800X3D if you can find one. It's supposed to be a solid pick with your setup.
What’s the fps you’re getting? The 5600X is pretty capable and should handle 100+ fps in most games. It really only becomes a bottleneck if you have a high refresh rate monitor and are aiming for 240 fps.
