Note that HDMI out supposedly works on the pro, so the missing functionality is just the microphone, touchid, and thunderbolt/usb4. (Unless you have a usb3 display or really like dongles).

I am happy to dock my laptop to one usb-c dock and not have to deal with hdmi, mouse, keyboard and jack output every time I come to my office.

For most users Linux Asahi is only usable as a daily driver in non pros contexts on Mac Laptop and you'd be better of dedicating a computer (a mac mini?) for the office.
