I do regularly on my 2019 MBP - I 'only' have the basic SSD and 'only' 16 gigs of memory. Usually Jetbrains stuff, but things freeze up/pause on VSCode and Eclipse as well too. I'll then be told "oh, must be your hardware", but this is a "feature" I've noticed of... not just JVM software, but probably MacOS in general - sporadic system pauses. SSD makes it more bearable, certainly, but it's not "this" hardware - I've had probably 8 different mac systems since 2008, and they all do this. But... in the 15+ years of Windows and Linux systems before that, similar issues. I see it on other peoples' systems too, but they seem to be able to bite their tongue, or genuinely don't notice (or don't care?)
