I suppose that depends on how urgently you need a new computer. I waited several weeks for one of the first releases, but have been using it the last two years and it has been well worth it. I accidentally smashed the case when it slipped out of my bag on concrete and was thankful I got a framework when I was just able to swap it with a new shell of their marketplace within a week
As I wrote, one month is fine. If it's one or two weeks more, it's ok. But, the actual waiting time is 6 months.
I get the enthousiast, niche, etc. I'm in niche things too. But, at a certain moment, you need to step up.
The waiting time heavily depends on whether you want Intel or Ryzen, and whether you want 13 or 16 inch.
13 inch Intel should ship pretty much instant even now as far as I know, the just released Ryzen now has to catch up with pre-orders first, and 16" isn't yet released AFAIK.
I bought a refurbished 11th gen Intel back in March and that got here in just a few days and I can't say anything about it didn't feel brand new. Have been using it almost daily since.
