I’m getting the air 15” just for everyday stuff, some coding for my personal projects, and some gaming when I’m traveling. The base pro is 150$ more and I won’t use any of those features so idk, I’m not really keen on spending more unless the air is completely useless to play games on (at a decent framerate)

AFAIK, it's mostly the lack of a fan in the MacBook Air that will throttle performance. It should still be decent though.

From what I see online however, Rogue Trader just has(had?) bad performance on macs in general.

Rogue trader has bad performances period. Unfortunately it's a staple of owlcat to release games with terrible performances, but they improve in later patches. Anyhow I checked out a vid (dunno why I didn't before) of BG3 with med + fsr and it runs good enough, so that's good
