In your case then it may be worth the trouble of figuring out the arm64 vm.
The kernel that is used was specifically written to work under MacOS arm64
accelerated virtualization so it should work. It is just not entirely documented.

For what it's worth I doubt that running an x86 VM would be much of an issue either,
9front is not exactly a demanding piece of software compared to a gnome desktop.

This is incorrect, drawterm is a program that runs under mac/linux/windows/whatever
that acts as a terminal. This is the whole point of having a specific program for it.
If you already had a 9front system you could just rcpu and run rio.
