I would say the one thing Geekbench results aren't great at is in expressing sustained loads. I don't know if there's a mode where Geekbench keeps testing for, say, 30 minutes, but it would be an area where the 13-inch Pro beats the Air, despite otherwise having largely identical chips.
Other than that, I think these scores are quite representative.
(Also, their "topology" of "1 Processor, 8 Cores" is increasingly silly, especially on complex scenarios like a recent Snapdragon with three different types of cores.)
