I would be more interested in actual measurements than theoretical
calculations.

If you do the thermal calculations on the cores commonly used in these
chokes you'll find it's almost impossible to saturate them - for typical
amateur mode duty-cycles they will over-heat and fracture at flux
densities well below those at which they saturate. And that problem is
avoided by designing them to have very high CM impedance.
