Interesting that there is an edition without 4K for €13.00 less. But this will be region B unfortunately.

Is it even possible to fit 6 discs in a steelbook or will it be a jumbo?

Yes and been done with a lot of steelbook releases in past few years

3 discs stacked each side of steelbook
2 hub trays in steelbook giving you option of 6 discs in a steelbook
This method means no need for a jumbo steelbook

The hub is deeper than you get with standard steelbooks allowing discs to be stacked
