The loss of Boot Camp is huge. One of the reasons I develop on a Mac is so that I can use a single machine for all development (including macOS, iOS, and Windows development). Most of the time, developing for Windows on Parallels works fine, but there are some cases where it's necessary to boot directly into Windows to test or debug adequately. I hope Apple is able to reach an agreement with Microsoft or at least continues shipping Intel-based Macs until then.

But also: Getting a cloud windows station or an el-cheapo-$500-under-the-desk-when-you-really-need-it Windows machine is probably worth it if you're doing professional work. It would quickly cost much less than the time you lose when rebooting to the the other OS, from my experience.
