7000mb/s M.2: is it usable / practical?

Here's what level differences could be expected when game loading isn't bottlenecked by processing:

Not much left to shave away by 7GB/s drives from what 5GB/s drives achieve...

With your use cases I would say editing would have the most benefit to the drive speed, especially if its used as the disk where the videos are stored.

Really only when doing cutting&pasting with direct stream copying.
Any effects and (re-)encoding will be processing power bottlenecked.
And during import source storage device is bottleneck and in export it's likely target device. (or web connection)

In my humble opinion it is not just the advertised speeds but also how sustainable these are going to be. If a program loads for nearly the same time regardless of nvme speed there is not much use of the marketing hyped numbers for me.
