As far as I can tell, the updates that require a reboot don't do anything in the background now (prior to the reboot), besides downloading.

They do much. They spend usually around 20 minutes doing stuff before rebooting.

Ha yeah, IIRC macOS updates on Intel are slower (and not only because of the processor and/or disk, but because of the whole architecture).
