Yeah, it seems M3 forces you into Sonoma, no choice.
I can imagine that the machine would be faster than the old Mac Pro if you are using formats like H.265 in 10 bit, for which the new machines have hardware decoders. Do you use any of those, maybe even from a Sony camera?
Finally, I have a 2017 iMac which ends for upgrades at Ventura, and it's running fine. It was happy with Monterey all the time before. Out of curiosity, I'm sandboxing the M1 Pro with Monterey and 19b2, and it's running OK too.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.
