Looks like the first release on their Github was this July. He says in the repo that he has been working on it for about a year, and all apps should be considered as in beta. It managed to make it to F-Droid already, or at least MA Office did. I tried it out and it is nice that it scales down to a mobile Ui a little better than Collabora Office, but missing features compared to that, and is inconsistent about whether it even responds to input at all, especially the edit button.
It looks like an interesting project, but definitely in beta and not yet established. These types of overly ambitious projects pop up a lot since Ai. Not saying he's a vibe coder, just saying. If he sticks with it, that's cool.
Lastly, I would advise against replacing Google's ecosystem with a new ecosystem. It is possible even for open source apps to get enshittified or sold, happened with the "Simple" suite before Fossify forked it. I do try to find apps that look like they have a similar Ui, Material Design if possible. But that's not too difficult these days.
