Whenever I see these sorts of benchmarks, it just makes me focus on how much iOS is the limiting factor of these devices.

It at least attempts to simulate ‘general’ workloads.
Looks like a variety of workloads, but lots of things that can be greatly improved with co-procesors. Like cryptography, image compression, image processing, etc.
"Geekbench 5 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 1,000 (which is the score of a Dell Precision 3430 with a Core i3-8100 processor)"
Isn't this (more or less) NUVIA's strategy?
I was/am in the exact same boat. I still have a fantasy that someday they will release some sort of “pro developer” edition of iOS with a proper terminal emulator and normal file system access. One can dream.
Say that I got an iPhone SE and a 16-inch MacBook Pro, hooked both up to power and started doing some single thread video encodes - would the iPhone actually beat the MacBook Pro? My suspicion at least is that it'd start throttling fairly fast.
