Not a Mac user but from running ARM64 both on servers and desktops for some years now, 99% of friction came from having to source-build projects which don't provide precompiled binaries. For me this is mostly a positive since it helped making me more consistent in actually building all container images and as much of the software I use as possible from source. With good habits, it's rarely an issue anymore (though there is the occasional project when it turns out to be a hassle, usually something with an obscure node-gyp build). If you rely on closed-source software it's a different story, I guess.
