Yes, heat could be an issue as the faster drives run quite a bit hotter.
You're probably better off with a standard PCIe 3X4 drive -- they're quite a bit less expensive and the PCIe4 added cost produces no benefit.
Keep the original drive for warranty purposes (and were it necessary to return the system for repair, DO NOT send the system with the upgraded drive in it).

No, this system does not support PCIe 4 speeds.

Keep the original drive for warranty purposes (and were it necessary to return the system for repair, DO NOT send the system with the upgraded drive in it).
Otherwise, the warranty will be unaffected.

Thank you @ejn63
I looked in the manual for the Service Tag and it says up to Gen4. But in the storage section it says Interface type : Gen 3 PCIe x4 NVMe .
A bit confusing ...
