For work i have a M1 Pro 32GB RAM 16". Also i own a M1 Macbook Pro 13" 16GB for personal use.
1. Performance is great, i neve hear the fans even in summer. The only exception is our testing suite that uses all cores for 10 minutes. If i run that the whole day in summer then after a few hours i might hear the fan very quietly (recently i was working on the testing setup itself).
2. Everything works by now
3. Docker performance is worse than intel. The CPU is way better than intel. In the end it works way better for me than with the previous 16" i7 with 32GB RAM (2019 model)
4. If you dont use VMs (or many docker containers) 16GB is fine. It will never get loud, no matter what you do.
