If you are running mechanical hard drives auto off on non use is a benefit. Mechanical hard drives make electrical noise and will wear out much faster if always on. No advantage to a mechanical hard drive spinning all the time.

I would claim if you have an external DAC the interference would be minimal except if your PC is madly overworked.
I've never personally felt that. I would think setting all your power management to 100% would be a waste of power.
If you aren't using a DAC; I would say plenty of laptops nowadays have terrible noisefloor and the only ones that seem to take it seriously is Apple.. But since the days of the headphone jack is mostly over even this doesn't stand true anymore as it will likely use a DAC from USB-C adapter.
