I can't imagine this is going to be too popular especially in the UK where we're seeing utilities going up by as much as £5000 per year.

This is actually really good. Most of the loads are bursty in nature. If you can get 15% more performance when an app or game needs it for a short time it is amazing.
I remember on my old system when using Photoshop, my fans would spike up just for a time I was dragging the magic lasso tool on a large picture. The rest of the time they were chilling.
Also, most power draw benchmarks are useless. Yes, 12900K pulls more power than 5950X in Blender render, but no one in the right mind would ever use CPU for any render or encode.
I will try to dig up a benchmark where someone measured total power draw during a period of time for a game or productivity task and, despite more power draw in Blender render, Intel CPU was actually pulling less power over time in actual use case scenario.
Modern CPUs are really good at power management. So if it can boost higher for a short period of time, and keep the overall power consumption same-ish I'd say yes, give me more of that.
