We have a lot of people at work with 2015 models - and they are SUPER happy. I have the 2018 model with i7 and I can't really see any difference in performance. I love the display, but mostly I use a 27 inch high DPI external screen along with an Apple magic keyboard.
One thing I strongly dislike about the i7 is how hot it can get with long compiles and such. So I think it's time to upgrade to the M1 Pro or Max.

I’m fairly sure that is a ms teams issue, it runs like trash despite how much hardware you throw at it.

Of course it's an MS Teams issue, but I am required to use MS Teams for work, so it's problematic to be using a machine that has trouble running it!
Unless you're saying even a new M1 mac has just as much trouble running it!
Really the only thing that doesn't work well on it to this day is the dreaded Microsoft Teams, which brings the thing to a screeching halt.
Well, plus trying to do more than minimal VM/container use, to be honest.
