Or does overall FS activity and raw throughput (e.g. with an ISO copy)
matter more than general FS contention?

Traditionally, yes.

Also note that none of this is about "throughput". It's about waiting
for a second or two when you do a simple "git commit" or similar.

Also, hardware has changed. I haven't used a rotational disk in about
10 years now, and I don't worry about latencies so much more.

The fact that you get ~100k iops indicates that you probably aren't
using those stupid platters of rust either. So I doubt you can even
trigger the bad cases.
