As a source of ignition(and initial explosion), sure, the charge matters. That doesn't mean that more charge makes it more likely to ignite, regardless of other factors. The construction of the battery itself is much more important there, and when we're talking about comparing solid state batteries(which is what this is about) and lithium ion solution, that's a big difference. It's the material that burns, not the charge.
