In my experience, yes, the thermal and energy profiles are vastly improved. I went from an Intel MBP that was constantly throttled due to temp to a 2020 MBP with a M1 (13" 16G of RAM). I've done a bunch of development on it, mostly running Pycharm and Docker. I got the fan to come on once while editing/transcoding using iMovie or ffmpeg (I forget, it's been a while), running a few containers in Docker, and editing code in Pycharm.
The hardware also "feels" better to me. I had issues with the keyboard and video connection with the Intel MBP that I have not had with the 2020 M1 MBP which gets carried in a backpack pretty frequently.
