What are my other options getting from Macau to HKG airport for my noon flight on the morning on 4 May?
9:30a sailings arrive HKG at 10:20a. If your airline is one of these:

then, you have enough time for a 12:00n flight, with or without checked luggage.
If your airline is not listed, then the minimum connection time is 110 or 120 minutes, depends on airline:

Either 110 or 120, noon time flight is out of the question, and they won't let you board the ferry.
So, it's not a question of whether you're comfortable or not. It's whether it's allowed or not. If your airline participate for the Macau check-in service listed in the first link, you have plenty of time to do the transfer.
As for other means, for a noon time flight, technically, you can check-in at HK Airport Express station in Central as late as 10:30a. Check this page to see if your airline participate:

It's an hour ferry from Macau to Hong Kong Island, then you have to go through immigration and then it's either a 12-minute walk or 2-minute by taxi ride to Hong Kong station. So, you can do the maths.
Realistically, 8:45a is probably the last ferry which I'd be comfortable with.
