Office 2019 is a one-time purchase.
Subscribing to Office 365 means you'll receive an array of cloud- and AI-based features you can use on any device.
Office 2019 only gets security updates and no new features. With Office 365, you'll get monthly quality updates, so your version will always be improving.
This article is a very good overview of both Office 365 and Office 2019

Yes, Office 2019 is supported in Big Sur, but will not be in the next major macOS release. MS only supports perpetual license software for the Mac for three OS releases, and Big Sur is number three. It will keep working for as long as you continue to use Big Sur (never upgrade the OS past it), but you'll also be stuck at that OS.
Expect a new perpetual license version of Office this fall to coincide with Apple's next OS. MS does not give discounts, or offer upgrade pricing. You'd pay full price for Office 2019 now, then full price again late this year to have a perpetual license version that will work beyond Big Sur.
Since it’s not been mentioned as yet, LibreOffice. Free. https://www.libreoffice.org/
