Yes. All four sentences are correct and can be used interchangeably.

All four sentences are grammatically correct and convey a similar meaning. However, they differ slightly in tone and emphasis. “So much has happened recently” is more informal and emotive, while the others are more neutral and straightforward. In most business contexts, “A lot has happened recently” or “Many things have happened recently” would be the most appropriate choices.
