Not unless you're benchmarking using something like AS SSD or Crystal disk mark

Yes in professional workloads like copying large Adobe Premiere or running VIrtual Machines in Hyper-v. In the real world with bootup times and loading games no as they are so fast today your CPU and ram is the bottleneck on any modern NVME drive.

However, this year or next a PCI E version 5 and maybe a 4 will use the Xbox DirectX directWrite storage similiar to the xbox which will greatly reduce game loading assets. I do not know if it wil be backported to older PCI 3 drives. Look the drives PCIE version. If you have an older system like Intel 11xx or Ryzen 2xx or older that is irrelevent as the motherboards only support PCIE 3
