Re: I'm going to be called a Fanboi but...
Naturally, extraordinary claims merit extraordinary evidence. But given the billions of chips from this family in use by consumers (in iPhones), I don't think there is much room for any major flaws to hide, other than in the Rosetta area. Caution or scepticism at this stage doesn't hurt Apple, they have accounted for it - TSMC can only make so many M1 chips, and these new Macs Apple have released are clearly designed to assuage people's reasonable doubts.
A month ago an Autodesk employee in their forum posted that whilst there isn't an ARM version of Fusion 360, he noted that it ran perfectly happily on their developer unit under Rosetta 2. Over the next few weeks and months, potential buyers will get a clearer idea of how the software they use behaves under Rosetta 2 from first adopters, and of developers' plans to release an ARM version.
