That is a lot of torque, especially on a mid-drive where it can be magnified by gearing.
I have heard of bikes cutting the motor during shifting at high torque (i.e. downshifting on a hill) to avoid damaging the transmission. That was on bikes with the envolio internal gear system, but its something to look for in a review.

FYI. 85 Nm has been the standard on "full power" eMTB for years. There's a couple newer ones that goes beyond 100 Nm.

Cutting power during shifting used to be an issue years ago (I think on watts wagons and calibikes), where you were supposed to brake briefly before shifting or in some cases they installed a "clutch" button as a motor interrupter.
Then things got better but I think the internally geared hubs can't handle the strain. I'll see if I can find the review I read last month that had it.
