Sweet. I wait for a tear down to see if one can swap the ssd for a bigger one.

Highly doubtful

I too doubt it, but Apple was good for some surprises lately.

Giving its $499 price tag for education and $599 regular retail, I don’t think they’re gonna be nice.

I own a base model M1 Mini and the first thing I wanted to try and do was upgrade my base storage. It was clear online that it just wasn’t possible. So, best thing I did was buy an external hard drive and plus my stuff goes to the cloud anyways. Only thing that gets in the way are applications

It's soldered in, so no.

This will be the deciding factor for me, I want to own the machine and be able to upgrade, I'd feel like I was renting it if not...

Answer is nope. No different from any other M series SoC Mac. Everything is within the chip, there is not an SSD or Ram soldered in the traditional sense.
