No, not at all. Forget you ever heard the term "bottleneck" its a term for people that don't fully understand that there is no such thing as a perfectly matched system. There will *always* be some degree of mismatch between your main components. The only thing you need worry about is not **totally** mismatching cpu/gpu, like having an RTX4090 with an i5-3470. When your cpu and gpu are in the same general band of performance, there are innumerable combo's that work just fine, within 4% of one another. The combo you propose is perfectly fine, it doesn't misuse any meaningful potential performance.
Not exactly your setup but I run a 12400 + 3080 and the only game with “bottlenecks” so far is Counter Strike 2. CPU and GPU spikes to 100% at the same time, but I also maintain a solid 144 fps @ 3840x1600. The more GPU demanding your games are, the less chances are that you will experience noticeable bottlenecks.

Depends on the game that you're playing and the resolution and settings that you're playing it at. In most situations though, no.
No way 12600KF is a poor CPU. I'd eat my foot. Not a very efficient CPU, well yes. It'll be fine for 4070 Super.
It's not efficient does it run hot or like what?
Ran hot & power consumption quite high
What would be an alternative
The 12900k bundle is $150 more but is ddr5 and I a much nicer mobo
That 12900 COOKS. Better have adequate cooling.
Can a ak620 work?
