One of the areas traditionally where P-State performance can hurt the situation is when using integrated graphics where both the CPU cores and graphics hardware share the same power/thermal envelope. So I also ran some quick gaming/graphics tests with the Core i9 12900K graphics:

The P-State powersave vs. performance governor difference tended to be smaller here, but at least no cases of P-State performance leading to dramatically lower performance than powersave. In some cases still, Schedutil just plain was in piss poor shape for delivering reasonable performance.
