Thanks for your interest in modern document sets! We're still working on resolving a few issues, so I can't provide a definite ETA, but we're hoping to include more tenants soon.

For now, modern document sets are available to targeted release tenants:

Dear Michael,

as I can understand, MS has been doing its best with modern document sets over two years (as fast as it could). The functionality is changing somehow under hands. What worked some time, doesn't work now.

First, probably worked this: https://mnaveedblog.wordpress.com/2018/09/19/enable-modern-sharepoint-view-for-a-document-set-in-sharepoint-online/

Then, modern doc sets worked for all of us (yippee!)

Now, doesn't work anything, and the mixed user experience is terrible, horrible, as many users in this forum complain about.

I'm sorry, Michael, but in the light of this, your unspecific answer that "MS is hoping to include more tenants soon", is not satisfactory.

What is soon? Days, weeks, months, years?

Thank you in advance for more specific information.
