Does this give us any indication on when Apple will be ditching x86 support?

Late 2027 or 2028 most likely. MacOS version lifespan is about 3 years give or take so we'll have a better idea once they announce whether or not MacOS 16 (Sequoia's successor) will support Intel Macs.

I have a hunch we'll get one more MacOS version with Intel support since they were still making Mac Minis and Pros with Intel chips in the first half of 2023.

any day now, usually after 6-7 years after hardware releases.

We probably have a few more years to go then. Consider that they were still selling Mac Pro 2019 Intel systems as late as June, 2023.
