I have M1 mini here as a testbed and M2 air ordered. Both fully loaded, and both useless in PRO session as without native software risks are still too high.

One of the largest producers of original live entertainment on the planet would disagree.
We’ve several worldwide in all sorts of mission critical apps including large PT sessions. No problem. Some Minis but mostly M1 Pro, Max or Ultra. Those are 4 noticeably different performance levels particularly with video. We started integrating them about a year or so ago once shows started opening again. We kicked it up a notch with some MBPs and again once the Studio came out.
There are issues in some instances but there are/were issues from time to time on older rigs as well. Anecdotally there aren’t any more (or fewer) issues for our workflows. It’s generally a reboot that solves it.
While some people’s workflows or configurations can be problematic calling Apple Silocon “useless” for Pro Tools or pro A/V in general is being poorly informed. What matters is the specific hardware, tasks and workflow to consider if a machine is suitable. Just like it’s been the entire history of DAWs let alone Pro Tools.
