Since the cores have the same microarchitecture and thus nearly identical performance characteristics aside from maximum frequency, the scheduling decisions are far simpler than for the 7950X3D or Intel's heterogeneous parts. It's only slightly more complex than Intel's more recent iterations of Turbo Boost, where 8-10 nominally identical cores have different maximum frequencies and one or two are identified as the fastest cores.
The optimal scheduler behavior is: if a task needs more performance than a Zen 4c core can provide, run it on a full-sized Zen4 core. If it doesn't need that extra performance, run it on a Zen4c core to save power.
