| 1) Exact regex — Matches major model identifier numbers based on Apple's knowledge base article (more accurate): | |
| ^Mac((BookPro1(6,[124]|[78],\d)|(1[3-6]|BookAir10|mini9|Pro7),\d+))|iMac2[01],\d+$ | |
| 2) Current or higher regex — Matches model identifiers based on Apple's knowledge base article and may match higher versions before this regex is updated (more future-proof). | |
| ^Mac((BookPro1(6,[124]|[7-9],\d)|(1[3-9]|BookAir10|mini9|Pro7),\d+))|iMac2[01],\d+$ | |
| Current or higher regexes aren't available for some models where Apple has used the same model identifier schema for multiple models. | |
| Either regex will match any of the supported following model identifiers: | |

Excellent! 👍
@talkingmoose I just double-checked the two main overall full regex via regex101.com and they are still catching the MacBookPro16,3 as supported.
You currently have for the full regex:
^Mac((BookPro1(6,[1-4]|[78],\d)|(1[3-6]|BookAir10|mini9|Pro7),\d+))|iMac2[01],\d+$
^Mac((BookPro1(6,[1-4]|[7-9],\d)|(1[3-9]|BookAir10|mini9|Pro7),\d+))|iMac2[01],\d+$
For the MacBookPro specific regex you have:
^Mac((BookPro1(6,[124]|[7-9],\d))|1(4,([5679]|10)|5,([36-9]|1[01])|6,[15-8]))$
So I am thinking the full regex should be the following??
^Mac((BookPro1(6,[124]|[78],\d)|(1[3-6]|BookAir10|mini9|Pro7),\d+))|iMac2[01],\d+$
^Mac((BookPro1(6,[124]|[7-9],\d)|(1[3-9]|BookAir10|mini9|Pro7),\d+))|iMac2[01],\d+$

@sdpalmer Thanks for catching! Look like I had the general regex at the top but hadn't updated it lower down. The two are updated now.

@jlehikoinen Sorry for the later update, but I was waiting for Apple to update their supported page in case anything changed before Tahoe released. The regex should be current now.
