Calibri is a pretty nice screen font. That said, I would rather see official documents in a non-commercially licensed font face that can be used by any/all OSes and platforms without incumbrances.

If they wanted to go back to Times, they could have at least looked at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts
Nah, it's ugly and doesn't exude "professionalism" at all. For that you'd need a serif font, or at least a proper sans serif like Helvetica or SF Pro.
100% this. There are a lot of sans-serifs that are much more prestigious and timeless.

Being the default in MSOffice also doesn’t help with professionalism as it makes it even more pedestrian.

Exactly! idk why I got downvoted...
