This is a comment at the comments of Gerhard "Still Computing Oh So Slowly" Paseman's answer, giving just indexes n for more record-holders.
Let $\small h_n$ denote the n'th harmonic number, $\small A_n=\{h_n\}$ its fractional part. The sequence of $A_n$ has a remarkable shape like a sawtooth-curve with increasing wavelength when n is increased and with sharp local minima - a shape which can be exploited when we seek for possible n to be included in M.
I use $\small f(n) = w_n = \{h_n\} \cdot n$ and $\small f(n,\varepsilon)=w_n \cdot n^\varepsilon $ with the OP's condition rewritten as $\small f(n,\varepsilon)<1 $ as criterion for the inclusion of n into the set M . Of course the cardinality of M is limited by an upper bound $ \small n \le N$ with some N that can numerically be handled, so actually we should write explicitely $\small |M(\varepsilon,N)| $ instead of M only. I could manage to use $\small N \approx e^{2000}$ with the help of Pari/GP.
The local minima of $\small A_n$ occur near $\small x_k=e^{k-\gamma}, k \in \mathbb N^+$ and the n to be tested is one of the next integers enclosing the $\small x_k$ - so this exact n must be empirically be determined. (Note that my n are the n+1 used in the comments at the OP denoting the previous high value of A )
The harmonic numbers $\small h_n$ can be computed in Pari/GP using h(n) = psi(1+n) + Euler
; however, this seems to be limited to something like $ \small n \lt e^{600}$ and so I had to introduce the Euler-McLaurin-formula for the larger n and implemented the switch from one method to the other at n = 1e50
The following table shows the first *40* entries of my *2000*-row table containing $\small n \approx 10^{840}$ which was possible to compute using Pari/GP in just a couple of seconds.
The basic option according to the focus in the OP's question is to test $\small f(n,\varepsilon) = w_n \cdot n^\varepsilon \lt 1$. For an example with $\small \varepsilon=0.1$ see the 6'th column and the 7'th column allowing to sum to the cardinality of M where we find $\small | M(0.1,2000) | = 7$ with $\small n \le N \approx e^{2000}$
A second, much nicer, option is to define the function $\small e(n) = -\log_n(w_n) $ and test $\small e(n) \gt \varepsilon$ whether to include this n or not. This is simply possible when looking into the 5'th column and simply compare.
This latter method allows to compute the cardinalities of $\small M(\varepsilon)$ for arbitrary $\varepsilon$ really fast, for instance to create informative scatter- or lineplots, when first a list for $e(n)$ of length $\small N$ is created and then the successful comparisions with the intended $\varepsilon$ are summed to determine the cardinality.
n | h_n | A=frac(h_n) | w=A*n | e(n) | w*n^0.1|in M?

The set $\small M(0.1,2000)$ is here the set of all $n$ where $\small f(n,0.1)=w_n \cdot n^{0.1} \lt 1$ . The number of such entries for $\small n=132159290357566703 \approx 10^{17}$ is here 7 .
All numerical tests which I've done indicate that the cardinality of $\small M(\varepsilon \gt 0,\infty)$ is finite and roughly reciprocal to $\small \varepsilon$ and only if $\varepsilon=0$ is surely infinite.
# Pari/GP tools This is the Pari/GP-program which I used.
Using the functions
h(n) = Euler+if(n<1e50, psi(1+n),log(n)+1/2/n-1/12/n^2+1/120/n^4-1/252/n^6+1/240/n^8)
A(n) = if(n==1,return(0)); frac(h(n))
w(n) = A(n)*n
e(n) = if(n==1,return(1)); -log(w(n))/log(n)
The following needs only two steps to find the n with the next local minimum when called with index $\small k \in \mathbb N$ :
{find_n(k)=local(n1,n2,a1,a2);
n1=floor(exp(k-Euler)); n2=n1+1; a1 = A(n1);a2 = A(n2);
if(a1<a2,return(n1),return(n2));
}
\\ create that list one time, then evaluate cardinality for various eps
\\ using that same list
{makeList(listlen=40)= local(list,n,w1,logn);
list=matrix(listlen,4);
list[1,]=[Euler,0,0,0];
for(k=2,listlen,
n=find_n(k); logn=log(n);
list[k,]=[logn+Euler,n,w1=w(n),-log(w1)/logn];
);
return(list); }
\\ compute cardinality with some eps
cardM(eps,list) = sum(k=1,#list[,1],list[k,4]>eps)
\\ apply, note: for long lists we need high internal precision
list = makeList(40)
print(cardM(0.1,list) )

# Pictures ***[Picture 1]*** : I've extended the search-space for $n$ to the range $\small 1 \ldots e^{1000} \approx 10^{434} $ and to check sanity to the range $\small 1 \ldots e^{2000} \approx 10^{868} $. For epsilons $\varepsilon$ from $0.001$ in $200$ steps up to $0.2$ I made the following graph: [![picture][1]][1]
Remarks: for the very small epsilon the increase of the search-space gives slightly higher results, which also illustrates, that for "larger" epsilon the cardinality of $\small M(\varepsilon)$ is finite
***[Picture 2]***: Indicates uniformity of the $\small f(n) =w_n = frac(h_n) \cdot n^1$ at the *n*, where $\small w_n $ has a local minimum (on request of @GerhardPaseman): [![picture 2][2]][2]
[Picture 3]:It is also convenient to show a rescaling of the $\small f(n)$ so that we can immediately determine the cardinalities $\small |M(\varepsilon)|$ just by counting the number of dots $\small e(n)$ above $\small \varepsilon$. The derivation of the formula is
$$ \small{ \begin{array}{lll} A(n) &\lt & {1\over n^1\cdot n^\varepsilon}\\ f(n) \cdot n^\varepsilon &\lt & 1\\ \ln(f(n)) + \varepsilon \cdot \ln(n) &\lt & 0 \\ {\ln(f(n)) \over \ln(n)} + \varepsilon &\lt & 0 \\ \varepsilon & \lt& -\ln_n(f(n)) \end{array} }$$
and we simply count, how many dots in the picture show $\small e(n) = - \ln_n(f(n)) \gt \varepsilon$
