Hi - QB does not care anymore except for the almighty $$. I have continued using my Desktop Pro 2020 and run my own payroll manually. I have only 3 Employees and I pay them monthly so I have streamlined the process. I recommend you continue to use your desktop version. If you have a larger payroll, you may be able to find a CPA or accounting office who will run your payroll and then you can enter the payroll data yourself when they send over the details. I send in paper reports of my quarterly 941 filings. It's really simple.. I also still use older versions of desktop for a couple other clients - Desktop Pro 2018. They will continue to work and you don't need the updates.
