As a web designer, it still is relevant to stay on Mac because Adobe is working on porting their apps to new macs, and my comfortable workflow is very much based around Adobe apps. But I haven't heard a word on how to run a local web development without using a virtualization solution - I'd rather keep doing what I do today, setting up homebrew so I can use apache, PHP, Mysql, from homebrew instead of the native Apple versions which existed until Mojave, because every OS update used to break it and I had to spend a considerable time setting it up all over again. With the homebrew version, nothing breaks up past any update so I can keep doing my work. The big question is web local development. But my design and coding tools, they will be there for sure.
As a gamer, not having Windows x86, be it with BootCamp or virtualization, is a deal breaker. Not that I have many AAA titles, since I have not been doing serious sim racing these recent years. However, I would like to be still able to play rFactor 2, for example. Emulation is far from a good solution for this. For light/casual caming, I have QEMU for Win 9x games and Wineskin Winery for some steam games such as Counter Strike, so at least the minimum low end gaming is guaranteed. It's the high end gaming that worries me about in this transition. Just when I finally managed to have RACE07 (GTR Evo's sequel), CS 1.6, NASCAR Racing 2003 and Championship Manager 3 working as ports on mac from Wineskin Winery, Apple drops the F-Bomb and announces a new transition...
Having 2 different laptops (an intel laptop and an Arm Mac) is not a solution to me and is undesired because I have been looking for a way to have only one machine, only one laptop with the best of both worlds. Not to mention how terrible it is to carry two laptops around with me. Therefore the ball is on VMware/Parallels park to make their play and find a way for x86 virtualization on Arm Macs. I doubt very much that QEMU's emulation will suffice for it, no matter how powerful the Arm Mac can possibly be.
