I am thinking about installing a 1TB M2 PCIe NVME SSD in my system to load DCS, Xplane11 and P3D on. Does anybody have one and if so, how much of a difference do you see from a standard HDD?

If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a heart warming story about a shark that spits out so many people that they have to open a beach.

Loading an instant action or training mission in DCS
HHD: 4-5 minutes
SATA SSD: 20-30 seconds

Don't even think about it...just do it!

SSD is good, NVMe is overkill. NVMe is $400, SATA is $300. Get the SATA interface one and save 25%.
