On point "a", Rosetta 2 will work perfectly if Rosetta 1 is any indication.

On point "b", the "first version" of the hardware was over 10 years ago.

I would think the overlap between Rosetta 1 and Rosetta 2 is effectively zero, even when including engineers who worked on both as “overlap”. It’s 16 years ago, and Apple bought significant parts of the original Rosetta from a third party that now is part of IBM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTransit)

So, I wouldn’t use the quality of Rosetta 1 as an indicator for the quality of Rosetta 2.
