Yes it is not good enough. You can't just cherry pick one thing that is good and make a case.
We all know that the GPU is the weak factor here. How weak? That is remain to be seen.
But if it has under 3 TFlops and RDNA has 4x more and RDNA2 even more than that then its fair to call it - not good enough.
In the presentation, Apple focused on the CPU comparision and called it the fastest CPU. Its all good.
However, when it came to GPU, they only compared it to integrated graphics. So, that told us that they are not ready (with this chip) to even play with the big boys (AMD & Nvidia).
So, as this was for low end computers it kinda makes sense. There has to be another chip (lets call it M1 PRO) that will tackle this important factor also. It may be around march event or we will have to wait for WWDC. Either way, it is simply not good enough to have either of those machines to replace your 2020 iMac with Radeon 5700XT.
Its impressive for the iToys notebooks though but not for the rest. So lets wait and see when next 6-9 months will bring

Editing 8K Prores Raw is not good enough?
