I had a 2008 15" MBP, the original retina 15", and currently have a work issued 16" i9.
The 16" gets toasty, but those first two could get scalding hot. And I was concerned about that as I only had 13" in the intervening years, but the 16" is nothing like those at all. Never once had a situation where it was so hot that I had to remove it from my lap but regularly had those situations with the others.
And I'm pushing it super hard, it rarely gets better than 3-4 hours on a charge. I don't think people are remembering just how bad those earlier MBPs were.
