No, for many people it was Rosetta apps.

BTW, Apple totally lied when they said they "fixed it" in an update and it was only a "reporting issue". It's not fixed, and it was absolutely f'ing not a reporting issue. People's SSDs have already failed because of this, and obviously they're soldered.

Any links to more info about this? I’ve had my eye on a 16” Pro with an M1 Max for a couple weeks now but want to make sure it won’t have issues like this.

I haven't actually seen any reports of SSDs actually dying. Can you provide some links? SSDs dying in less than a year of typical use is a huge deal.

I don't see any reports but there is evidence that should the soldered on SSD fail the entire device is borked short of board level repair.

I haven't seen any conclusive evidence one way or the other.
