Should We Wait To Launch a Redesigned Site After Google's Core Web Vitals & Page Experience Algo Update

[opiates]

We are redesigning our WordPress site (over 1300 posts and pages) and are on schedule to launch in May of 2021. Should we wait for after Google's Core Web Vitals & Page Experience algorithm update?

I don't believe there is any reason to wait for an algo update. Especially if your new site has improvements which could help your CWV scores. Google states that they will be using "field data" (from real users, not bots) over a 28-day period to assess CWV. So, if your new site is going to score better, you would want to build up those scores now. That said, if your new site is going to score worse than your current one, you might do well to fix it prior to launching it. There are plenty of tools (both lab data-based and field data-based) to assess your old and new pages. Page Speed Insights is helpful for public-facing pages. Whereas for not-yet-public pages, you might need to resort to using the Audits tab of Chrome Dev Tools, or other tools which allow for authentication, etc.
