It depends, AV1's software decoding is still progressing, but judging from the presentation, I still think VVC will be easier to decode than AV1, both in Hardware and Software.
Of course companies are waiting for licensing, which is what MC-IF was suppose to solve / improve. While there were no official announcement, I believe Velos Media wasn't listed in 2018, and it is now included in members page means All major player in the HEVC licensing are under MC-IF. Even those who refuse to participate with MPEG-LA or other patents pool are there as well like Technicolor.
This is a very encouraging sign. Hopefully the licensing terms will be out as soon as the codec get finalised.
