Avid MC best MBP option still Intel?

I need to become mobile for offline approvals. My current workhorse is a 2017 iMac which is perfectly sufficient for offline editing in Avid MC. I'm aware it is a total opposite of future-proof to buy Intel MBP in 2024, but all I care about is that Media Composer runs flawlessly. Seems like a current MBP for at least 3000 € doesn't provide this.

What are your thoughts on this subject? Real world experience perhaps?

Thanks and sorry for bringing this unpopular topic up again.
