Not being well versed in this area ... do you believe CHERI is providing any safety (or security) that macOS/iOS don't already have in place on Apple Silicon devices?

Yes, it does additional stuff, however it isn't under Apple's control, it is being researched at Microsoft's Cambridge labs, so Apple will most likely go their own ways with PAC and MTE.
