SolidWorks and AfterEffects are probably the heavy hitters as far as workload goes. Everything else you mention is (or should be) very lightweight for a modern computer.
For reference, my typical workload for my 2018 MBP is:
* At least one Windows VM running
* At least two web browsers running, sometimes three, depending on what I'm doing.
* Python as needed
* At least one large Java application running
* The usual office-y applications - Outlook, Adium, Teams, OneNote, Word, Excel
* Opening large text files in Sublime Text is a regular occurrence.
Even though there's a lot of stuff going on, there's nothing that routinely makes the machine spin up the fans, let alone overheat and crash.
