Are there any other dots using the Acro cut yet? I’m not really enthused with the idea of dropping ~$600 for an optic I’ve never even handled.

None that I'm aware of. The new Sampfox "Kraken" comes closest but isn't quite the same.
What I can tell you about the Acro is that it doesn't have any noticeable distortion in the optic window. The unit itself is tough and completely unconcerned with environmental conditions. I have heard complaints that the armoring of the optic (It's basically a tube within a tube) isn't as nice for target transitions as something like the SRO, but I find that complaint most often from people who don't know how to do transitions. You don't do them through the optic, you move your eyes and then move the gun to where you're looking.
It looks bulkier than it actually is.

I’m going to take a shit ton of hate for this
But. I don’t get the closed emitter sex appeal for a concealed piece.
if you’re drawing from waist deep mud you’d surely have bigger issues than an actual obstruction of you red dot.
But wtf do I know. All the operators are running the mail box optics so it must be above my skill level.
Question about the trigger.
If you run the safety equipped version is there a downside to the Forward Set Apex? I gather it's a 1911 style take-up/break?
If anyone is interested in doing this build but want a heavier break on the Apex trigger kits, there’s a factory striker without the “10 deg” sear-face that increases the break on M2.0 pistols by about .5-.75 pounds. It’s the unmarked one at the bottom.
The biggest benefit to your typical concealed carrier is going to be a less annoying mounting standard. While I've seen plenty of dots break, I see the mounting fail far more often than I do the optics themselves. With the Acro...and I don't see a ton of them...but I've never seen the Acro's mount itself fail. I do see the mounting of the plates get wobbly every now and then, though.
I have an M&P 2.0 Compact that is set up identically to this gun except it's a CORE...it's going to wear a Holosun open emitter because I've got one that isn't doing anything and it'll work just fine for concealed carry.
