You'll get the same amount exercise, you'll just ride hills fast or go farther. The only issue I have seen is speed limiters as they can make you "hover" just where assist kicks off, which can make you hold back as the effort to sustain the speed above unassisted can too high. I don't see that happening on an eMTB other than commuting duty.
I don't have an eMTB for various reasons, but desired exercise intensity isn't one of them.
