Just wondering if releasing the steam deck 2 on arm would be a huge deal. I know arm is famous for being more efficient, but would it still be better, even when using FEX?

Valve are doing the ARM experiment with the Steam Frame.

They mentioned not wanting to release a Steam Deck 2 until there was a significant performance upgrade available.

In my opinion an ARM chip with the FEX translation overhead isn't going to be it just yet, it will probably be another AMD SoC.
