will accept bech32m addresses directly.

There are faucets that accept such addresses, for example https://bitcoinfaucet.uo1.net/, but you have to use bech32 checksum instead of bech32m, for example sending to tb1p84x2ryuyfevgnlpnxt9f39gm7r68gwtvllxqe5w2n5ru00s9aqus27cytz works fine, but sending to tb1p84x2ryuyfevgnlpnxt9f39gm7r68gwtvllxqe5w2n5ru00s9aquslzggwq does not work. The same with pages like mempool.space, you have to use bech32 instead of bech32m, then you can send to taproot from some old faucets or browse taproot addresses from some old block explorers.
