Mail.app and Calendar.app work fine with outlook accounts and Word and Excel work fine in Rosetta 2.
Edge is based on Chromium now, and nobody uses it on the Mac, so there's not much point in testing rendering on a Mac (better to test on Windows Edge).
However if you're really bought into the MS ecosystem (or much of your company is), and can't do without outlook or old Windows programs like winzip (!) I'd agree with the author that you should wait, though I don't agree that it's a big problem to do so or this is somehow a failing of the new Macs.
Pretty sure this isn't going to be a problem for longer than a few weeks anyway, as MS have already announced the office suite working fine on early betas of M1 and new beta builds for the architecture:

In fact on checking I see the betas have already arrived:
