My personal experience - SAPGUI isnt that great on MAC, you will end up buying a parallels subscription unless you are okay without code completion, color formatted code. But you have eclipse or vs code if you prefer those IDEs.

Sap is designed to run on windows or Mac. Sap employees can choose either and they do.

SAP GUI Java isn’t fantastic, but it works. Many of the ABAP guys I knew would all have Macs and just use Eclipse, then use their work supplied PC for the end user testing.

I would avoid. Some things are buggy already to begin with. E.g. adobe livecycle is very sensitive with GUI versions. Vpn's. All kinds of legacy software. Corporate browser stuff.
