Compatibility of QB Desktop for Mac 2020 with recent updates to macOS Monterey

Does anyone know if QB Desktop for Mac 2020 is compatible with the most recent updates of macOS Monterey? I know some users are experiencing difficulty using QB Desktop for Mac 2020 when they update their macOS to Ventura. But what about when running the most recent updates for Monterey (for example version 12.6.8). If I do this, will I still be able to use the main features in QB Desktop for Mac 2020?
