It's 2020 and Excel is still sluggish on Mac.

It already exists https://www.openoffice.org/ or https://www.google.com/sheets/about/

I'm using Excel from Office 365, and I'm not seeing "sluggishness" on mac (on an ancient 2009 iMac, 10.13 High Sierra). Not sure what version you're using.

I'm not a heavy spreadsheet user and I tend to use cross-platform applications but, quite frankly, Numbers works pretty well.
