Bern,
Absolutely. The Envoy Pro SX my office has is Thunderbolt 3 and we use it as a boot drive for our Mini M4 Pro.
My brother uses an Envoy Express box for his Mac Mini models. They Thunderbolt 3 and he's happy with them. He doesn't do anything with photos and such but I suspect it'd be find even if that was one of his computing tasks.
Note, Apple Intelligence gets disabled when you're booting your machine off an external drive. That doesn't concern me because I don't care about Apple Intelligence. I bet it won't be an issue for your dad.
