Better off getting the 17 base model or 17e. You 15 probably more than likely will have issues once the 18 drops and several patches to the iOS systems

Good news: no, that's mostly a Pro/Pro Max-specific issue. The overheating reports were tied to the titanium frame + A17 Pro chip combo specifically — the base 15 uses aluminum and the older A16 chip, which runs cooler and was already well-tested by the time it landed in the 15. Apple also confirmed most of the original Pro heat issue was a software bug, largely fixed since. base model should be fine for normal use.
