I had some trouble transferring outlook to a new PC. Tried to find a solution in the Google Workspace administration. There was a message that support for access to "unsafe" apps, among them Outlook 2019, will end 2024. They have made a tool to get access to older versions.

"New" Outlook 356 and 2021 can use Oauth2 to connect with Gmail and some users can test this in Outlook 2019. However, this creates an IMAP account (with synchronization of address and calendar). A pop account with a pst file is not possible. Google has developed Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft® Outlook. This does not allow more than one workspace account in an Outlook profile, making it unusable for me. When synchronising (uploading) your existing account it makes a total mess mixing up different accounts when there is more than one.
Then there is a problem accessing all your email history locally. With pst and archiving this is no problem, but I am not sure about IMAP.

I have suggested they postpone disabling unsafe access until Microsoft rolls out Outh2 for 2019, but their support too has degenerated to Indian standards, so I only get explanations of what I already know.
 
oAuth2 will not be added to Outlook 2019 (for google and yahoo) as far as I know, only because of its age and it will soon be out of support. If they were going to add it, it would have been done at the same time as 2021 - because they use the same codebase. But I could be wrong.

This is the article you mentioned?

They did this to personal accounts a couple of years ago - you can still use "unsafe" apps but need to use 2-step verification and an app password instead. But it will only sync mail, not calendar & contacts.

New Outlook - the app that is replacing Windows Mail - uses the Microsoft cloud to sync Gmail, including calendar and contacts. This capability will not be added to classic Outlook desktop software that is installed with Office desktop software. Outlook desktop needs to use Gsyncit or CompanionLink to sync.

It seems that my own version of Outlook 2019 is now capable of Outh2, as I can select Google and Office365 as type, next to IMAP, POP and Exchange. I guess this happened during a recent update. I had to use an app password from the start a few years ago. So now my problem is how to ensure a complete archive of my mails on my PC (maybe partly on my NAS if it gets too big).
 
Auto Archive or Export to a pst should work.

oAuth2 to Exchange should definitely work - that was added in an Outlook 2016 update (2013 too, also needs a reg key). Google oAuth2 was added to subscription version prior to it added to 2016.

If you enter the google address and the password screen is the google log in, it uses oAuth2. Same for Yahoo accounts - yahoo was added top the subscription version less than a year ago.
