We have a few of those Apple 27″ Thunderbolt.
My first test with the M1 Pro MBP didn’t go so well with one display.
None of the USB options worked.
The camera was fine and the display is awesome.
However, it was one dud of 6 displays so that will have to sit back with the tubes.
Check first if you can just in case.

The last time I ran into an issue with EVA-1 and Resolve was a few weeks ago.
The files would not show data.
This was on a 2019 Mac Pro and R17.
I would have to try again what the results were.
I took the files into AME and converted to ProRes 422 to fix it.

Any chance you can test one at a store?
Ask to download the free version.I can see it working for basic editing but once you start adding nodes…yea who knows?
-
Keep in mind that the codec can also cause the bottle neck.
H264 and AVC is known to cause CPUs to crawl during editing.

From within After Effects?
I am curious too. -
My render farm days are long gone (Max/Maya).
Walter is on the nose with the HP Zs 🙂
Before that, we had BOXX, Intergraph, and SGI Onyx/Visual.
I still have an older HP Z240 for Maya and it’s solid.

We own two Panasonic EVA-1s for my day job.
Dealing with that data is nowhere as easy as my personal camera a RED DRAGON 6K.
If you really want to avoid doing math, conform all EVA-1 media to ProRes422 or ProRes444 (not sure if there is any benefit to this one).
Another issue is that the EVA-1 media don’t play nice with Resolve.
My general workflow at work is FCPX/PPro > Resolve and back.
If I know I am not round-tripping then I proxy the lot in FCPX/PPro.
It’s safe to say that the other formats you’re dealing with should be easier to work with.
But again, I would convert them all to an editable container (ProRes).

I would be shocked if they did.
And for IO (ext tv) not sure what ports are on those.

You can also use an actual video clip and try all the transfer modes.
Realism for the environment will need a little more work.

Not sure if looking for an HD option is even a thing these days.
Just as most stated here, buy the best you can afford.
I was cutting/grading 4K on a MBP 2008 Uni for a few years with no issues.
