I think it varies by model. The 14" & 16" MacBook Pros with the miniLED give me and many others PWM issues. On the other hand, the MacBook Air models with the notch don't seem to bother most people.

I have an Air and agree these are great for people sensitive to PWM like myself.

Yes, the Air with the notch (M2, M3, M4) is specifically PWM free. There is some sort of display issue with the "OG" M1 Air screens for many.
