Big difference in thumb generation of large pic folders, etc. Almost as much difference as when I went from 500 mbs SSD > 2700 mbs nvme SSD. $200 for a 2 TB. Paid that much for my Commodore cassette. And had a no issue clone from one to the other- Ubuntu 20, using same on a USB/Gparted for the clone. Was concerned there might be some snafu with those nvme's being on PCIe adapters, but everything went fine. Had both in bootable shape after clone, have reformatted the other (500 GB/ 2700 mbs) one and I think I will put it in my Win7 gaming box.

Is that tiny heat spreader in the pic enough, or dies it run hot under load?

Everything is fine. I am not running a discrete video card on this rig though, so it isn't packed against something hot. The units themselves make no noticeable heat really. AMD A10 APU / Assrock board, FWIW.

It's your i/o and 4k reads that boosted ur porn folder not the absolute top sequential speed. Most games don't even noticibly benefit from going from SSD to NVME

Game / scene loads, etc are faster. I was just trying out the difference between 500 mbs SSD > 2700 nvme SSD with Bannerlord, which is the newest thing I have, and it was noticeable. I don't game much, and don't have a pron folder. I do keep a lot of stock pics, memes, etc. though. Massive amounts, really.
