I wouldn't extrapolate "across the board" from yesterday's announcements. I don't think they'll do a SoC with 1.5 TiB RAM inside.
My guess is they focused on the M1 because it was fairly similar to the A14 in that it integrates the RAM on the SoC; a future M1X or whatever around springtime then adds support for external RAM chips.

So do we think they're going to do this with the iMac?

Keep in mind the higher-end Mac mini models haven't been replaced. I wouldn't be surprised if those offer features like 64 GiB RAM and 10GigE, like the current Intel model does, but they're waiting for a CPU to support that.
