However, I doubt SA will even be usable with my 2.1 soundbase, so I’m not going to get excited about it.

To enjoy it, you’ll need HomePod speakers set up in stereo mode, a Dolby Atmos compatible sound bar, or TV with Atmos compatible speakers, of one of the above-mentioned AirPods or Beats.

tvOS 15 adds the head tracking feature for AirPods Pro or Max. But I think that’s just for video, it doesn’t really make as much sense for Music.
