As someone who’s been around for a minute, I’m jadedly amused that your argument is that M2 or M3 will fix these things.
What they will do is be faster and more widely adopted. Docker (and everyone else) will do the heavy lifting to fix those, including any that are specifically Apple bugs.
Assuming that the average person in this thread "enjoys Apple products," holding back on the M1 is a reasonable piece of advice. If you're not an Apple fan, then now is definitely not the time to dip your toes in.
This experience has done nothing but prove my previously unsubstantiated beliefs. I am pushing for Linux laptops at work.
