It works well, but I found I had to configure several items inside the VM to get it to work within our corporate environment. Timezones, ntpd, proxy, and arm64/amd64 cross platform all needed me to tweak some stuff. But that was quite a while ago and may be fixed now.

Colima on the other hand works pretty much seamlessly, but really works best on macOS Ventura because you can enable vz virtualization.

Edited to add: colima works seamlessly on the command line. So if you're command-line-averse, you'll need to learn some new commands and things won't be as convenient. I haven't tried rancher desktop yet.
