I have the MacBook Pro 16" 2019. I can confirm you don't have to try very hard for this to break. Disconnect the thunderbolt connected display when asleep and boom. I've learnt that if you close the lid then this seems to help avoid the issue.

The AMD GPUs power consumption shoots up from 5 to 20+ watts when you connect an external monitor. Closing the laptop's lid is the only reliable workaround, but even then you only have to fire up Photoshop to make the device's fans go wild.
Zero confirmation of this widespread issue from Apple or AMD.
€6000+ machine
No more Apple after this for me
