When I moved from an i7 2600K PC with SATA SSD (ten year old CPU and three year old SSD) to a new system with a Ryzen 5600X with a Samsung m2 SSD I noticed things were a bit snappier in everyday use, but all in all the computer felt about the same to use. Of course things like video rendering was much faster. That is a much bigger upgrade than just upgrading your SSD.
Moving from spinning disk to SSD your latency reduces from 2-5ms to about 100 microseconds, so orders of magnitude faster. Bandwidth is higher as well. That means the bottleneck often moves to your CPU. Moving to a faster SSD is an incremental change only, so you won't notice it so much.
