The sweet spot for the Chiefs has been right around 60/40 in the Mahomes era, give or take a couple percentage points. Don't think they've lost a single game when they've kept that ratio.
Again, cause and affect. You can't keep that ratio if you're behind. You can run for 2 YPC all first half, fall behind, and end up having to pass it 99% of the time in the second half trying to save clock for a comeback.

Teams don't lose games because they pass a lot. They pass a lot because they're losing.
