I hope youre not putting m.2 drives in a server if you plan on reading the data from them at some point. Those are for consumers and there's an entirely different formfactor for enterprise storage using nvme drives.
Tell me, what would be the issue of reading data from an m.2 drive in a server?
M.2 drives like to get hot and die. They work great until they don't.
Sounds to me like you need to work on the cooling in your server case.
TBH i have an old ssd for the host and rust for all my data. Don't have m.2 or u.2 in my server but I've heard enough horror stories to just use u.2 if the time comes.
Enterprise systems do have m.2, though admittedly its only really used as pretty disposable boot volumes.
Though they aren't used as data volumes so much, it's not due to unreliability, it's due to hot swap and power levels.
