From the point of view of rosetta, qemu's JIT would be completely opaque, and so would end up suffering severe performance penalties due to it having to translate code from what would appear to be an aggressively self modifying JIT.

That said, assuming Qemu runs entirely in user space I would expect it to be able to run under rosetta, and am genuinely curious if it does, and what the perf is - as I said, I would expect it to be much slower than arm64 qemu emulating x86_64, but I'm curious as to how much.

That being said, Rosetta is somehow surprising OK with JITs–Java has "OK" performance under it.
