It's not much of an update, but I thought you might be interested in this response from the ScotlandsPeople team about the 1921 census. (I had actually asked about the annual BMD update, they slightly misunderstood my query):
Hallo, thank you, & HNY to you too! As the 1921 Census took place in June of that year, we can't release the data until after June 2021 due to 100 year closure rules. No release date for this data yet, but we'll make sure everyone knows about it when we have one.

Note that 'after June 2021' is the earliest the records can be released - not necessarily an indication of the release date itself.
One to watch!
Don't forget that ScotlandsPeople has now updated its BMD records, with a further quarter of a million records - for details see http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2021/01/scotlandspeople-adds-quarter-of-million.html.
