I do this with my old 2017 MacBook Air and while the case gets pretty hot, it reduces throttling on the old Intel processor a lot. It felt like a new computer after replacing the thermal paste and adding that pad.

Apparently the neo doesn't really get hot enough to really notice to the touch with the pad to the case.
