Appears those in Germany are now getting a new update focused on the camera and some bug fixes:

According to the folks at SamMobile, the new update arrives as version G98xxXXU7DUC7 and weighs around 500MB in size.

That sounds encouraging.

So no one in Germany has yet to confirm if the S21 Ultra autofocus problem is fixed. Or was that fixed on a previous update. If it's not been fixed before I would highly doubt it can be be fixed in software, it was such a well-known glaring issue, they would have fixed it a LONG time ago.

With that said, don't get your hopes up your worries are over upgrading to the S21 Ultra. Unless the larger fingerprint sensor and the dynamic refresh rate is SUPER important to you. I just ran across this. The 21 Ultra still has better cameras than 90% of the phones out there probably, but if image quality is super important to you, keep your cameras on your less bulky/heavy S20 Ultra or Note 20 Ultra.

Guess on image quality between the Ultras you have to decide between autofocus issues versus worse noise and detail.

I guess I was right as the close autofocus issue was indeed a hardware problem on the S21 Ultra only due to the 108MP sensor. But a software update basically created a semi-automated workaround.
