So I've experienced Docs getting, hmm, sad once the doc you're editing gets beyond something like 30-50 pages.

Does this change mean that I can look forward to being able to write hundreds or thousands of pages in a Google Doc without it getting periodically non-performant?

I do a lot of game design documents that use images heavily, and it chugs hard around ~20 pages with ~30 images total on them. Macbook 2019, i9

My M1 does not have performance issues like that with docs 3x the size. Breeze right through even with 20+ other tabs open.

A majority of users don't have an M1 processor though.

Yes but most of us aren't living in the future yet. We're stuck with Intel CPU's for the time being.
