I am checking for a gaming laptop and came across the Gigabyte G5 MF. It features a plastic chassis, so I’m wondering if this might lead to overheating issues? Would it be better to consider another model with an aluminum chassis to avoid performance drops during gaming due to overheating? The specifications I have are: Intel Core i5 12500H, GeForce RTX 4050 6GB, 8GB DDR4 3200Mhz, and a 512GB SSD.

I don't believe an aluminum chassis will significantly improve gaming performance.
A gaming laptop requires a powerful cooling system (dual fans, large copper tubes and vent...). The ambient temperature is the key factor; if your room has air conditioning, the laptop will run better.

I noticed the ASUS TUF Gaming FX506HC-HN004 has an aluminum chassis but a lower-end GPU (RTX 3050). Considering this, should I go for the Gigabyte G5 instead?

Laptop chassis typically utilizes high-density plastic for durability, while aluminum contributes to thinness without compromising strength. Some models incorporate aluminum for passive cooling, whereas high-performance users may require active cooling solutions.
