Possible catch: Rosetta 2 goes away next year in macOS 27.
I don’t know what the story for VMs is. I’d really like to know as it affects me.
Sure you can go QEMU, but there’s a real performance hit there.

Not until macOS 28., but you're right, it's frustratingly unclear whether the initial deprecation is limited to macOS apps or whether it will also stop working for VMs.

This can be avoided by not upgrading to MacOS 28 right? I'm new to Mac's and the Apple release schedule so I'm not sure how mandatory the annual updates are.
Does Apple Silicon support VMs within VMs?
What if you run MacOS 27 in a VM, and then run the x86-hosting VM inside that?
It would be pretty difficult for Apple to disable Rosetta for VMs.
How so?
