Personally I love the touchbar. I got a M1 with the touchbar and some extra RAM/SSD and it's my main machine, but if I had have been in the market for purchasing one now instead of 6 months ago I definitely would have gone for the 13" Pro still. It has other advantages over the Air as well like active cooling (useful in some edge cases) and better battery life. Having said that, I feel like I'm definitely in a tiny minority here.
