i can now verify this empirically:

Update 2023.07.07: I told an inadvertent lie above, claiming that no
M.2 cards are fast in 9front.  In fact, the Intel 6235 is an M.2 NGFF
card, and it works great.  Years ago I had recorded this fact[0] after
installing one in my ThinkPad T431s, and then we even bragged about
it[1] in the body of a 9front release announcement.  At some point I
forgot it existed.  One day, after writing the original version of
this post, I was perusing old sysinfo entries and re-noticed the
designation.  I acquired another example, installed it in my ThinkPad
X1 Yoga 3rd Gen, and it performs similar to the mPCIE cards examined
above.  That is to say, exhibiting much faster throughput than any
opther M.2 card I've tried.

So far, I've failed to find any other Intel M.2 cards prior to the
7260.
