I have a very simple benchmark Pro Tools session where I have got a Softube Console 1 (K series SSL), Fabfilter Pro-Q 3, Fabilter Pro-C2, Waves Abbey Road Plates, Izotope Ozone 9 and Fabfilter Pro-L 2 across every track.

Perhaps you have the same plugins, or I can make an alternative session with the plugins that you do have?
I use stock Avid plugs and UAD stuff - which is obviously on DSP - so i don't own any of the things you've listed. But to answer your first question, yes, the CPU used in mixing seems about the same. At the lowest buffers the M1 Max CPU meter in pro tools keeps glitching up to 100% and going red, but the actual base level of processing is about the same on the two platforms - about 30% for the demo song.
