I've got 15" i9, and a 14" M1 Pro. M1 runs circles around the i9, without even spinning the fans. It's unbelievable how cool and quiet it is without compromising performance. It makes all Intel MacBooks look like obsolete junk.
Docker on macOS is meh. I still need to build x86 executables, so I've had to fight with cross-compilation inside Docker (I can't wait for the ARM server market to mature, since I'd rather not use any x86 any more).
I've got 32GB, and memory hasn't been a problem. M1 has never been hot and noisy. I haven't even heard the fan spin, and I'm regularly compiling Rust.
