Should the need arise, can I use an Intel MacBook Air with USB ‘A’ ports to restore my M1 MacBook Pro (USB-C / Thunderbolt ports) with a suitable cable or adapter?
Yes as long as the Intel Mac is able to run macOS 10.15 Catalina.

Thanks for the prompt feedback guys. My MacBook Air runs Big Sur, so no issue there, and suitable cables seem to exist. Hopefully I won’t need to restore the M1 machine anytime soon 😀

If it ain't broke don't fix it.
