Important question. I definitely really want to, but purchasing an M1 mac is not in my budget for 2021. The plugin uses very Intel-specific code, so it's not just a case of recompiling, some of it actually needs to be re-written and properly tested. (Not only does it use SIMD, but also my own fast math functions with bit manipulation etc that are very hardware specific).
So I cannot guarantee it for you and fully understand avoiding it for this reason.
However I am very excited about M1 and ARM & NEON in general, and slightly suspect that Windows might soon support it too. I'm also very interested in the Raspberry Pi and how far that can be pushed, so ARM code will be on the menu as soon as I can. Just can't make any guarantees.
