Bech32m is the address format used to encode the output script of Pay to Taproot outputs on the user layer. Addresses don’t appear on the blockchain, in transactions, or in output scripts.
The output script for P2TR outputs consists only of the witness version and the witness program, and the witness program is an x-only secp256k1 pubkey. When a P2TR output is spent via the keypath, the witness stack only needs a signature. So no, most P2TR outputs would not protected by hashes, just as @kristapsk already stated above.
The exception would be if you made the keypath unusable, because spending via the scriptpath requires a control block that commits to the leafscript via a Merkle branch in the scriptree since the Merkle tree involves hashing.
