The consumer "workaround" mentioned uses some sort of iCloud "Secure Enclave" Backup file of some sort and will restore data on a new phone if you use the "Recovery" option, which does transfer regular boring TOTP and the primary "consumer" MSA account and the recovery locks/bricks the same data on the previous phone in the process.
The additional issue mentioned is that while it works great for the MSA account and any boring TOTP you have setup it doesn't work at all for other Azure AD accounts of seemingly any stripe (Corporate Microsoft 365 accounts, B2B, B2C), which is surprising given it is Microsoft's Authenticator and they highly recommend using it, but it fails for Corporate MFA transfers. It just gives an error icon and not very useful error message.
