With Apple Silicon MacBooks to be announced on Nov 10th, which DAWs will be ready in Q4?

I hope you were about to agree with yourself

I don't think Ableton is working on or caring for ARM Macs at all. They are usually the latest to the party. Might see it supported in 2022 earliest.

They converted the graphics to Metal from OpenGL several months ago. They might be more ready than you think.

And still struggling with finding the cause of lag issue in their centercode.

Live and Reaper for sure are porting quickly.
I would guess Bitwig, Cubase and DP next.
Pro Tools, Mixbuss and Reason in last place.

Hard to say with FL Studio, ReNoise, and other odd ducks. FL might just have an advantage in that they just ported, so no odd legacy code, beyond any quick tricks they used.

History proves you completely wrong. Live made the transition from PPC to Intel right behind Logic, months before anyone else did. Same with OS 9 to OS X.

What about the history they took years to fix 8 and headquarter apologized to users?

IMO, Max/MSP really screwed up Lives stability, and it's taking more time and effort to maintain that pairing than anyone expected. M4L came in in v8.

That said, Cycling 74 were a Mac OS only company for a long time, it's again very likely that Live ports to AS in a timely fashion IMO.

Hope so. It does not feel the same passionate Ableton from 15 years ago.

100% hear you on that. Live is great, but my passion for it waned after it was obvious that MPE was not a priority for them. I bought it originally because it's supposed to be a live performance oriented DAW, but it's more about WYSIWYG and intuitive workflow for IT people on their day off these days.
