Have you run into Viable https://eclecticlight.co/virtualisation-on-apple-silicon/ or VirtualBuddy https://github.com/insidegui/VirtualBuddy ? I think at least Viable has some limitations though

Edit: "some" limitations is putting it lightly. From https://eclecticlight.co/2022/11/17/lightweight-virtualisati... which is apparently still current:

> Apple’s current implementation of lightweight virtualisation still has no support for Apple ID, iCloud, or any service dependent on them, including Handoff and AirDrop. Perhaps the most severe limitation resulting from this is that you can’t run the great majority of App Store apps, although Apple’s free apps including Pages, Numbers and Keynote can still be copied over from the host and run in a guest macOS.

Same deal with VirtualBuddy, apparently the root of the problem is that some sort of hardware validations fail in VMs https://github.com/insidegui/VirtualBuddy/discussions/27
