Wow, never had this, I use IntelliJ (for java) many hours everyday with 2x4k@60Hz screens (both running with hidpi scaling so even more pixels than 2x4k) and it’s always running smoothly. Running MBP 16”.

This has been my exact setup (except 15" instead of 16") for four years now, and I also have never had problems.

Yep, and that issue has been open for FIVE YEARS. The related issue which promises a fix has "only" been open for two, however: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-745

Interesting - my own setup is the built-in 15" high DPI display, an LG 5k display and a Dell 49" ultrawide with a low DPI. I've not really experienced this. Probably scaling mode or similar.
