SATA SSD/HDD vs NVMe SSD when running a server?

I know that SSD’s have way faster load times compared to HDD’s, and NVMe SSD’s are even faster than that, but is there a practical performance difference between these pieces of hardware when running a Minecraft server? Chunk loading is obviously done by the drive, so if there are, say 50-100 players loading chunks at one time, will the drive likely be the bottleneck in server performance if I use a typical hard drive? If so, should I go with the fastest drive possible or is an NVMe SSD overkill?
