I appreciate knowing this problem is widespread and the wise obvious suggestion to go back to using the plugin format. This is frustrating in it's own ways, but way better than using the ARA mess.
This seems like a dark time for ProTools. The ARA thing and Apple silicon... I've had this understanding that they are absurdly slow(like last place in the DAW race) to adapt to important new advancements because they are making sure the changes are fully tested and stable. Solid integration for professional environments. I don't know what's going on now but all I know is ProTools has been having some serious issues lately with it's official releases. ARA was clearly not ready for prime time. And Silicon Apple... ? Maybe they're not focusing as much on Rosetta and more on the Native cpu version moving forward. I hope so.
Ideascale. Looks like that went away a while ago. The thing on Avid Link is nothing like it was. Oh well. I'll create a support ticket, ,,,
