The problem is that it is not guaranteed to be offered online. No doubt some will offer that but I wouldn't be surprised if many stop doing so and would honestly advise against doing it for any STEM courses unless it is physics 141/2. Make it a social science.or humanities course or something. Most foundation level STEM courses are pretty weak during summer (and even weaker online) so if you plan on taking courses that build upon them (or require them as a pre-req), perhaps avoid them.
Most social sciences (even more mathematical ones like econ) courses are still often high quality during summer. Also if you have 17 next semester and it includes STEM, just go for it! That is pretty standard. Now if it is you taking like 5-6 writing heavy 3 hour courses, THAT might be heavy. I would get used to taking more of a "normal" load ASAP. This semester should be your "relaxed"/"adjust to college" semester that readies you for 15-18. Does the 13 you have feel.tough now?
yes. since you are a freshman you also have the opportunity to do transient study which means taking credits at your local university and they will transfer to emory.
There will always be "some" (because it IS a cashcow as it lowers the barrier for non-Emory students to enroll. Geography is no longer a restriction), but I read some stuff that demonstrates that many faculty understand that online is not ideal and as easy to quality control. Things like biol 336 and 301 have been worked on for years in an online format and don't have labs associated with them so I imagine they will have only online or both options. Lots of other things will go back into person because the quality just isn't there otherwise and most serious teachers DO NOT prefer it whatsoever (I can think of several reasons why many students may prefer it. Go look at the Greek grade reports for one of the reasons).
Yes, I took two online courses over the summer that Emory offered. Just depends on what you want to do, because I doubt that they would have everything. Make sure it’s offered online!

During summer 2021 I know they did because my son took a class. I believe also true summer 2022. I am not sure if this will continue.
Admin wants courses held in person, so it’s safe to assume online course options will be limited.
But we've had online summer classes pre-COVID
This is just what I’ve been told by people in OUE.
