On another note, GPS tracker is probably wrong application for this assesment as I would believe that GPS receiver has significantly larger power consumption than LTE-M radio.

No, it's usually much less for GNSS. The secret to low power GNSS is to find a way not to have the receiver on much of the time, but that's very possible. LTE has less flexibility in overhead energy, because there's overhead enforced by the network.
