Not only is it older, so Pro:Pro it would have much slower SSD, but doesn't the Air also have slower SSD than the Pro in the same generation? And maybe narrower memory bandwidth?

IIRC, depends on the SSD size.. larger sizes had 2x the bandwidth, so it depends. That's combined/offset with the M5 improvements even further.
