"I suspect we're about to see [Apple Silicon] move to small performance increases due to diminishing returns"

Is there any discussion of this online, I'm curious to read more.

This has already happened.

A14 is 3.1GHz while A13 is 2.66GHz. A14 is around 20% faster than A13 overall, but it is also clocked 14% higher which gives only around 6% more IPC. Power consumption all but guarantees that they won't be doing that too often.
