Unfortunately you might have witnessed the achilles heel of ARM ecosystem, where certain SW/binaries are not available yet. Most open-source code can be compiled for ARM without much hassle[1][2][3], but some might require explicit changes to port certain x86 specific instructions to ARM.
I've been shifting my work to ARM based machine for some years now, mainly to reduce power consumption. One of my current projects - A problem validation platform[4](Go) has been running nicely on a ARM server(Cavium ThunderX SoCs) on scaleway; but weirdly scaleway decided to quit on ARM servers[5] sighting hardware issues which not many of the ARM users seem to have faced. Only ARM specific issue I faced with scaleway was that the reboot required power-off.
