[Affinity and Big Sur problems]

Hard to tell yet, since most people wait and see what kind of possible software bugs and migration problems this leads to before they update to Big Sur. Meaning most people aren't that digitally fearless or are among the very early adopters. - However, since the latest Affinity apps are now universal binaries some of the architectural differences in code may affect the app’s performance during runtime.

There are generally a bunch of things to take into account and to thoroughly test, as you can see from Apple's porting Apps to Apple Silicon article here. Further Big Sur itself in it's early new versions will have bugs too, thus things have to evolve over time here (as always with software).

It is kind of ironic to read this in 2022, when searching why Affinity Designer is unusable at least on Big Sur. What timeframe is this the combination of Affinity Designer and macOS supposed to be save? 😂
