Depends on what we mean by "early days on hardware".
If we mean "we've have been working on this for almost 3 decades. That's a very long time to be working on something!". I agree.
If we mean "We just now only have a few logical qubits that outperform their physical counterparts and we'll need thousands of these logical qubits to run anything useful" then we are still in the early days.
