OMG, I got it working: 4K 4:4:4@60Hz via HDMI (no USB-C). I don't fully understand it. I downloaded SwitchResX (I'm using the free trial for now). This thread helped:

As that post shows, I created a new "Custom Resolution" and set "Use simplified settings" set to "CVT-RB". Before creating the custom resolution, I picked 4K 60Hz, and that way it auto-fills in the settings for that resolution. I didn't set any other numbers or options. When I selected CVT-RB, the Vertical Hz changed to 60.004, which was the only difference from the screenshot in the link above. I don't know what CVT-RB is yet. But, then when I pick that custom resolution, it actually works. To install a custom resolution, you have to follow these steps to disable SIP first:

After you create the new custom resolution, you can turn SIP back on.
One thing that surprises me is the System Information screen says I'm getting 30-Bit Color. Here's a copy-and-paste:

The reason I'm surprised I'm getting 30-bit color is that I had been reading that my TV and HDMI 2.0 both don't support that. They only support 4:4:4@60Hz at 24-bit color (8-bit per color). So, I don't know how this is working.
I verified that I'm getting 60Hz at the UFO test:

And, I'm using the 4:4:4 Chroma test from rtings:
