I don't think a missing Vulkan driver is the big obstacle here, Unreal Engine supports Metal since some time - the Intel laptop graphics hardware was just too slow, thus games only got released on iPhones and iPads. Now that Apple Silicon macs have a reasonably fast GPU, maybe we'll finally see some releases? Also, a future viable route could be via Asahi Linux and Wine/Proton, but thats a different can of worms.
