The Pi 4B will definitely throttle with only a ventilated case if it is anything other than sitting idle all the time.

I had mine up to 130% on 'top' and it never made more than 76°C

 So you were only using 1 and a bit cores, hardly taxing it.
 

I don't see the point of letting it throttling when an inexpensive fan will keep it at full speed under any load.

I question that it will in fact throttle.

 If you do something which uses multiple cores it will.
 

Like so much 'everybody knows'  when you look at it it is in fact 'everyone believes because people selling fans told them so.

 I'm telling you so, and I'm not selling you a fan, although I do have a bridge going spare if you don't believe that.

I don't know what case you are using, but I have tested my geekworm aluminium passive case. It does not throttle using:
stress-ng --cpu 4
Calcs suggest it might throttle on the hottest day of the year, but not normally.
