[Occams Razor]

The difference isn't minor, a M43 is 93.6% bigger. It's a very very big difference and especially in the dynamic range department. The difference will most likely be several stops.

The difference in DR between those 2 sensors is closer to 1 stop and not several stops. Below is a graph comparing the photographic dynamic range between a RX100 (1” sensor) and a GH7 ( M43) at various ISO’s. The M43 sensor gets a boost at ISO3200 but this is not due to sensor size but that specific sensor has dual gain amplification. While the M43 will have better IQ due to the larger sensor surface area, the DR difference is much smaller than you think.

Differences in size isn't really subjective, it's very quantifiable and the same goes for stops of dynamic range. If the substantially larger and better sensor is need or not is another question ofc, but there's no question whatsoever about the fact that there's a very very large difference in size and quality between them.

When looking at a 320x240 decimated? 1920x1080?

Quality as seen by the human eye is subjective. As I said, whether 4/3, 1", or ½" makes any difference is relative to the application.

Buying a Mavic 3 for YT videos is overkill, regardless of the amazing stills it can take.

The difference is still not subjective no matter if it's overkill or not. It's very quantifiable and MFT is simply better when it comes to dynamic range no matter the application.
