Since Alder Lake CPUs have different dimensions, do we have to wait for companies to release a new compatible model of AIO or can we use what's available now?

You need at bracket if it dosen't support LGA 1700/1800 out of the box. Corsair and many other will offer brackets for their AIO's.

AMDs Ryzen AM4 CPUs are already bigger in size compared to Intels LGA1151/1200 CPUs. 

Intels new LGA 1700 will be in similar size to AM4 so current AIOs will work fine but you may need a different mounting bracket.
