Not that I know off. Google announced that because of Covid they would
postpone their plans, but it seems like the  «Sword of Damocles»,
because somehow emacs should be then registered as a google approved
app, or something like this.

Since my institution uses Gmail (to save money)  I am very worried about
this issue and would be extremely interested in any progress.

In my understanding no, unfortunately I don't know about about this
protocol and so can only offer my help for testing.
