Bottom line is, it depends on how well the steering and suspension are sorted out. I think the G80 manual is going to be totally fine. BMW has had decades of building M3 manuals. I trust they know what they are doing.
The E60 535i lci ZCP was a peach and lighter than a G80. It felt like a more planted and solid 3 series to drive. Loved that car.
