This issue has been resolved.  I was able to file the 2019 and 2020 returns yesterday and they went through.

The one to two day delay is not a big deal.  It would just be nice if Intuit could communicate there is a minor delay to avoid concern/panic by their clients.  I had expressly urged my clients who finished their prior year returns in December to NOT paper file because e-filing a month later would still be quicker and more secure.  I didn't want to look like a fool here.
