As to early action or decision, you need to check last test accepted by each college. Most actually do accept the Oct ACT for EA or ED (and many even accept the Nov SAT). Their application deadline is not their test date deadline. But there are some EA schools for which the Oct ACT is too late.

As to regular admission, the Dec ACT is fine for most colleges. A small number, e,g, UTexas, Cal Poly SLO, some others, want testing done by Nov. and some others need testing to be done by Nov if you want to be considered for any scholarships. Again check each college’s rule for the ones you are considering, including because many of them even take the Jan SAT and some the Feb ACT.
