Throttling was a big issue for me and the M1 MBA, so much so I traded it in on a Studio Max. It's all about workload and the way you do it, so I can't say it would effect anyone for sure, but it definitely can be a problem. I'll never buy a passively cooled computer again, that's for sure.
M2 MBA will be worse. Independent reviews are coming out on the M2's heat generation and power draws. They are higher than anticipated and proved the point I have been making for a while.
