Not really. As stated earlier, watts really mean little without Kg. Even considering your point about wind resistance, you’re still going to have more frontal re the bigger you are.
Ar my best my ftp was 360. While that sounds like a lot I also weighed a shade over 200 pounds at the time. With those numbers I could doing pretty well in crits and tt’s as a Cat 3, but was toast in road races with real climbing.
Net net, 300 watts plus is not that big of deal for a bigger guy.
