Track; not yet

Why
This is the strongest peer-reviewed logical-qubit result of the cycle and the most production-credible of the three, but the headline numbers are a research demonstration and the commercial path still lacks demonstrated computation on error-corrected qubits.
Next
Watch for a productized, cloud-accessible (Amazon Braket / Gemini- or Libra-class) machine delivering universal error-corrected logical operations — not just logical-memory or one-off lab records — with published end-user error rates.
