Recommendation on how to make diablo 4 run cooler on M1 Max?
You can make device cooler by manually turning on the fan and tinkering with the RPM of fan to make it run cooler when running games. Macboook by default does not turn on the Fans until its over 90 degree. You can use this free Fan control software. I have been using it and my mac runs cooler when gaming and such. https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control

Is it time for a new computer or are my issues fixable?
Knowing how one might reproduce an issue doesn’t mean the cause is failing hardware. Apple Diagnostics may be able to tell you more, and Macs Fan Control can tell you if the fans are in working order and you can make them spin faster if you want.

However if do have your heart set on the macbook make sure they have at least cleaned it out and repasted the CPU.
