Good, no, but there is a working one. The Carbon backend is still the best "native" option, though thanks to Catalina that isn't really an option anymore. The Cocoa backend has issues, but nowadays gets all the effort so things will improve faster than previously (but you most likely want to check the development versions).
The most stable and featureful backend is most likely Qt though, largely because it is also used by people on Linux. There aren't that many Mac developers after all (and Apple doesn't make it exactly easy for them).
In any case, macOS will always be a sort of "third wheel" for Lazarus since it is the most "alien" to the way it works. After all the API was designed (by the Delphi developers) for Windows and it feels most comfortable in Windows-like environments.
Of course IMO even that is much better than a web-based environment which doesn't feel comfortable anywhere :-P
