There's still breakage:

# pkg upgrade pkg
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

Unable to update repository FreeBSD
Error updating repositories!

This is on a 12.1-STABLE r357318 host. I have plenty of other hosts
with similar errors.

I think a lot of people are waiting for some kind of guidance on how
to fix these problems, if the repos are supposed to be okay now.
