One of those problems will go away.
Remember, iPad Pro's live on a teeny, tiny logic board with no fans and are completely crushing it!

iPads Pro don't have 28 cores and multiple PCIe slots.
Yes, this hypothetical Mac Pro Apple Silicon CPU will take less heat, but you're making a lot of assumptions.
Are we really saying that Apple will destroy the whole MPX GPU system after a single version, in favor of one that's reduced to their own proprietary GPUs (which aren't currently a thing), and that those will somehow take less heat but also be competitive?

Maybe they should've also learnt "stop screwing over people by only supporting something for a single revision"? Just a thought.
