I seriously doubt Apple would take such a big step as switch cpu architecture, if they didn’t already know how to make the first few cpu generations. That would be way too risky. If I were Tim, I would have needed a 5-10 year detailed road map from the chip-designers before making this step. The idea that Apple made the m1, and somehow got stuck now is a bit silly. Most likely, they know what they are doing. They might hit unexpected problems 3-4 years from now, but not right now. The m1x and m2 will only be incremental steps forward. That’s how the A-series have progressed, and that’s fine.
