I've heard of "staingate" and screens getting scratched/dented from keyboards.

Does anyone have experience with this?

I'm getting a 2020 macbook air - do you think I will have the aforementioned problems?

Nope.

MBP 15" and MB 12" keyboards would leave marks on the screen when closed (none were permanent) but I'm not seeing any of that on the Air 2020.

I have a late 2013 13" Pro, mid-2014 13" Pro, early 2013 Air 13". I use a silicone keyboard protector and never put any outside pressure on the top or bottom case. None of mine have any scratches or pressure marks at all.
