I think your only hope in the near-term is running VMix on Intel Minis in Bootcamp.
Windows via Parallels on ARM is likely to mean the half-baked Win10 ARM build running natively in a VM, with VMix running within that via the built-in Windows x86 emulation layer. I wouldn't trust that in anything approaching a production environment.
Having used and been abused by VMix for a while, I'd expect their developers to entertain the prospect of an ARM macOS rewrite in precisely never.

Wouldn't bother with intel minis. I have some windows laptops I use for VMix already but just like the form of the mini. There are plenty of mini PC cases I could knock something up in (Which would actually be far more appropriate / flexible / cheap than a mini - but... y'know... mini)
And yes I hear you re. VMix devs.

Before there were Intel Macs, Parallels was a full x86 emulator for PowerPC Macs. I presume there'll be plenty of products of that kind in due course.

Off topic but on VMix/similar - any thoughts on how to get 11 remote speakers into a stream? VMix call does up to 8. Wirecast does 7. Callers are consecutive, not concurrent, last up to 2 mins each with a cut back to local camera for 1-2 mins where a host introduces the next remote caller.
I could juggle I guess - cue up 7 callers on WireCast and when the first 4 are done start to bring the next 4 in but it'd potentially be uncomfortable.
Could I get 2 x wirecast / VMix licenses with half calls on each and NDI one into the other? Bleurgh.

Crossover appears to run well on Apple Silicon with Rosetta 2, which is quite a feat, if you think about it.

Great! I think I remember having similar things in the past with PP. Using Resolve mostly these days and have a whole host of new 'quirks' to contend with.
Toying with a couple of minis for a portable live streaming set up but will wait to see what Parallels come out with in terms of running Windows cleanly as VMix (common tool for live stuff) is Win-only and it's got to be zero delay or not worth getting.
