I have run the comparison using the same data, but on an Intel-based computer (2018 MacBook Pro 15" i7- 16GB.
MacOS 12.3.1
OneDrive version 22.055.0313.0001 (Standalone)
I first clicked "Download all OneDrive files now," and all folders and files downloaded as expected without any pauses or stalls.
I then synced a SharePoint folder, right-clicked on the folder, and chose "Always Keep on This Device." It immediately began downloading the folders and files to my computer (~14GB). Completed without issue.
All of my users who have had sync issues after this update have been using M1's, so it's highly likely that there is a bug when using the M1 architecture.

Hi jsturgis ,
I had similar issue but after I switched to OneDrive for M1 Apple Silicon, I do not experience it anymore. Make sure your OneDrive is Apple kind (M1 native, not Intel), and check it out. I would recommend even enrolling into Insider preview. it seems to be very stable.
I even wrote a blog about about this - I hope it helps. Check it out here.
