MCUs are more of an issue and of course migrating between different families is a huge headache. However the problem extends to other active components too - regulators, interface ICs, sensors, anything really - and there are opportunities to work with the smaller manufacturers there.

Fair enough, although I'm not sure this is true at our scale or our product type. When designing products for a 20 year industrial product life you really don't want to gamble on chips staying in production.

Definitely shortages on regulators as well, although that's outside my area.
