Hello i have a 2021 14 inch macbook pro M1 that has the magsafe power connector (which is great). My question is can the onboard thunderbolt 4 ports be used to charge this macbook in the event that something happens to the magsafe connector? Just curious!
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.0

Yes.
Apple makes it clear:
"Use a USB-C charge cable
You can use any of the Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports to charge your Mac with a USB-C charge cable. Your Mac charges over only one port at a time, so connecting multiple power adapters to the MagSafe 3 port and Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports won't result in faster charging. If you connect more than one power source, your Mac charges only from the adapter providing the most power."
Charge your 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro
