For anything that doesn't need a UI, you're FAR better off having some remote server than trying to emulate, it's far to slow for ARM64<>x86-64 in both directions..

Many things are just so much easier with a remote server/workstation somewhere than trying to deal with VM shenanigans.

ARM64 visualised on the otherhand (Linux works great, macos seems good(?), haven't tried Windows) with UTM is pretty great.

I absolutely agree! I finally went in that direction. The only reason I was trying this whole ordeal was because I was trying to get some private dependencies included in the build without going through the whole hassle of git submodules. Now I just include those deps as a path include in mix.exs. Not a great solution I know...
