Cool! I was looking for something to feed to my new Nvidia GTX 1080 in my classic Mac Pro! Just hope the cpus are still fast enough. 
Got a tip for us?

I'm happy to hear that. However the issues with the PS4 port are widely documented in the gaming community. Let's hope the Mac port won't suffer thus.
Why should it? The Mac version is based on the Windows version, not the PS4 port.
I think Feral made it pretty clear that most (if not all) of their future Mac ports going forward will support Metal.
What issues specifically are you talking about which are present in the PS4 version but not in the Xbox version?
Nixxes - who handled the Xbox 360, PC, PS4 (including implementing checkerboard rendering on the Pro) and the Xbox One X patch versions (and post-release patches) of the game were incredibly responsive fixing game bugs within their scope of of work.
The biggest issues on the PS4 at release was uneven frame pacing and input lag, and this was fixed by Nixxes. DigitalFoundry did pre and post-patch comparisons on all systems demonstrating it.

Played this on my 2016 MBP 15" in Windows on bootcamp. Great game.
I use Mac OS for most things, but some programs run better on Windows for me, so bootcamp is a no brainer (solidworks/autocad/FL studio.. and of course steam games)

Random freezes, Character glitching - flickering in place whilst all other animation is fine, control latency - which occurs randomly for no discernible reason, Inability to pick up loot or objects unless approaching from a certain direction - again random, getting stuck in objects and walls, running on the spot and stuck, etc.
This is a fully up to date PS4 and patched version of the game, and it still has issues. Most of these issues are easy to play around, some are almost game breaking, like the Baya Yaga DLC bugs (she constantly gets stuck in the boss fight). These aren't hardware issues. I notice you say issues that aren't present in the Xbox version. If the Xbox version plays the same then the whole game is borked. TR 2013 doesn't have any of these issues on the same hardware.
