Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but

"I'd be more worried if they weren't"

And same goes for AMD, Intel, NVIDIA...

100% this...

I'd actually be worried if they aren't already working on the next 2 or 3 generations of the chipset.

Those both look like 3rd party software issues rather than Apple hardware issues to me.
It's Apple software issues since the promised Rosetta 2 "just works" but actually doesn't. Not to mention the battery life that'll be hardware and chipset related.

while I agree with your sentiment (I'd personally wait two more generations for the majority of apps to be ported and further optimised on any new architecture change) those examples are awful because most users would be using Safari anyways, Chromium + Firefox are gearing towards the ARM port soon enough, and that's solely Adobe's fault for hard-coding a unique error message instead of allowing their app to run with Rosetta in the first place. I also slightly agree that, as usual, Apple is quite over-optimistic with their 'just works' claim and they should've at least barred caution in these early stages.

edit: ah that list is quite lengthy, thankfully the author is constantly updating it with new ports as time goes on, yeah definitely crappy on the just works claim.
