the 73AF cards are just a better binned card with higher clocks, sold by a few like sappire, powercooler. also referred to as Navi 21 XTXH (versus 21 XTX of 73BF)
However, you shouldn't be afraid of these cards anymore since whatevergreen makes them super easy to enable. 5 min and it's up and running so you shouldn't fear any 6900XT or 6800. but no support for 6700 or 6600 is likely ever coming since apple only bothered to enable support for chips they just deployed on their intel mac pro. This is pretty typical of apple, only support what their own hardware has. they might have added more if they continued supporting egpu but that seems dead in water too on M1, so it's likely 6700 and 6600 support is never coming.
