do keyboard covers produce overheating in MacBook Pro mid-2012?
Are these silicone covers recommended? Do this covers compromised heating on these old but great machines?
What about newer MacBooks? M1 Pro M2 Pro?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
The 13-inch 2012 non-Retina Macbook Pros, indeed most newer 13-inch MBPs as well, pull some of their cooling air in through the keyboard. To me, using a cover is a risk of overheating as well as the risks mentioned the article FoxFirth links.
This Apple article of overheating is pretty concise:
Keep your Mac laptop within acceptable operating temperatures - Apple Support
When I worked in law enforcement, we called that a "clue."

See the following Apple Support article for information on keyboard covers. The support article doesn't mention heat but does discuss another potential issue: Using a camera cover, palm rest, or keyboard cover on a Mac notebook - Apple Support
Thanks a lot!
