Since I upgraded my MBP 2020 M1 to Monterey, the 'Tap to click' is almost unusable. This issue is still not resolved in the 12.1 beta 3.
Its almost impossible to do my work on my MBP... Please revert any Trackpad changes ! The very good 'Tap to click' was one of the reasons to buy a MBP.

I have the same problem. I just returned my brand new MacbookPro today.
I am worried that as of 2022/04/17, seventeen hundred people are experiencing the same issue and there is no official reply from Apple. In one of the posts from other people, one customer went to the Apple Store and was able to reproduce the issue in every laptop. In another post, a customer ordered a replacement unit and the new laptop had the same defect. This is a YouTube video that demonstrates the problem: https://youtu.be/l4daQQeuzNw
To me, it feels unfair to pay for a laptop where the Track-Pad is not working as intended.
There are similar reports dating back to 2020, and there is still no answer from Apple:
