Although I'm not up to date on the most recent industry developments, I'd say to be less concerned about the number of qubits, and more concerned about the gate fidelity and qubit coherence. Certainly, you want a quantum computer that you can actually use [1]! It's also important to distinguish between the adiabatic quantum computing of companies like D-Wave with their many qubits and the gate-based quantum computing of Google, IonQ, IBM, etc. with their fewer qubits.
