I wouldn't go that far, but maybe split the difference at a modern i3 or the lowest spec Mac from last year.
It would be awesome if Apple or someone else could have an in-OS slider to drop the specs down to that of other chips. It'd probably be a lot of work to make it seamless, but being able to click a button and make an M4 Max look like an M4 would be awesome for testing.
