when is the next OS release date potentially? Trying to see if I should wipe my 16 inch to go back to Mojave to fix it or wait for new os to see if it fixes.
Got a tip for us?

Generally it is late September to early October. Although this last one was November. Likely increased testing for ARM plus Intel. Along with all the work related issues caused by Covid. As we are still having problems with lockdowns and getting back to work. I'd expect another late release.
Any ideas on if it will be less ugly and childish than Big Sur? I’m still on Catalina purely for the interface design.
Yes.
Look at the history of Mac OS X. When Leopard was released out it looked like Leopard till Lion, Mountain Lion to Mavericks Yosemite to Catalina.
The next release of macOS will look like Big Sur.
Did the 16 inch run Mojave or Catalina originally? and what is the issue? It could be long wait to get a well rounded OS after Big Sur.
You are ASSUMING how it will look. You haven’t seen any betas or leaks. Nice try. Try not to be so certain and seemingly authoritative about unreleased software.
Of course it will look very similar to Big Sur. Maybe a bit cosmetic change here and there, but don't wait for big changes.
Last time Apple needed almost 5 versions, until we got the refined UI in Catalina (Yosemite 10.10 -> Catalina 10.15).
Here is an comparison of the UI elements:

I believe it was Catalina and I remember it running smooth when I got it in May of 2020. Big Sur has stutery issues until I restart. Apps like iMessage will have dramatically delayed typing and clicking after some use. These issues seem similar to using a PC from 1993 with the CPU overheating. Apple seems to have abandoned this laptop too soon. I recently bought a powerful PC desktop and thought I could never use windows again but a PC is very smooth to use with intel.
