Just my two penneth - I posted on a different thread (about M1 emulating windows so I could run pre-rental creative suite) saying I couldn't just ditch and switch to Affinity software, even though I already had two of the three.
This was mainly due to working with legacy projects, and collaborating with my clients' in house people, sharing development files etc.
Well, I was mistaken. I have switched with a shiny new Air, and so far everything I have tried to open - adobe docs into affinity - have by-and-large worked just fine. Some have needed minor tweakage, but nothing scary.
More importantly, documents I have then exported into adobe formats have opened fine and accurately in the creative suites apps.
So I'd fully recommend not just assuming adobe actually have you by the short and curlies with their rental model, there is good software out there, give it a try. You can currently buy all three Affinity packages for less than the price to rent a single Adobe app for four months.
