When Mac OS 28 comes out and cannot run Intel software, it's unlikely that any new Intel apps will be released after that. Intuit isn't going to put out an Intel TurboTax 2027 for the Mac when it won't run on any Mac upgraded to 28, that would be a support nightmare.So assuming that Apple's security patch support for macOS 27 follows a similar pattern to macOS 26, that suggests Rosetta 2 will still fully work in macOS 27 and that macOS 27 would receive security updates for three years following its release (presumably in Sept 2026) so it may be possible to defer dealing with this potential problem by doing nothing until mid 2029, when macOS 27 (still able to run amd64 apps via Rosetta 2) is nearing the end of its period of security update support, and then make a decision with much more information.
