Many of the Mac networking specifics have become less of a problem. I use Rancher Desktop, which uses the correct virtualization framework based on OSX versions and allows you to customize the lima and virtual machine provisioning scripts so that you don't have cross-platform headaches like this (for the most part). Also runs kubernetes locally out of the box so you can test app deployments without waiting around for resources to free up on your shared dev cluster. Newest versions have almost everything Docker Desktop has. Highly recommend if you are on mac.
