Supposedly it should be not too difficult to downclock the N100 such that you get same/similar performance as the J4125 for less heat/power?

It’s a bit tricky to do that, and hardly justifies the effort. I have a J-series, an N100 and an N5105, and the biggest bottlenecks are always about I/O. The N100 makes a great Proxmox server solely due to the faster cores.

Different workloads I guess but context-switching/CPU (and associated increase of memory bandwidth) is/was holding my N5xx/N6xxx back from properly utilizing I/O.

But this was in the context of someone who has an N100 but prefers running a J-series over due to lower power consumption. It seems like it should be worth the effort?
