Do many people on this list use AS machines, and what are their experiences and advice regarding MacPorts on them? Am I in fact over-thinking it?

I'll let others chime in for the specific ports you mentioned (as I don't use them) - but for reference I have an M1Pro/16G MacBook Pro and macports + all the ports I care about work fine on it (and it's quite a bit more responsive than my 2018 mac mini).
