I tried this but I have an MBP M4, which is evidently still in the toddler stage of VM support. I can run a macOS guest VM, but I can’t run docker on the VM because it seems nested virtualization isn’t fully supported yet.

I also tried running Linux in a VM but the graphics performance and key mapping was driving me nuts. Maybe I need to be more patient in addressing that.

For now I run a dev account as a standard user with fast user switching, and I don’t connect the dev account to anything important (eg icloud).

Coming from Windows/Linux, I was shocked by how irritating it is to get basic stuff working e.g. homebrew in this setup. It seems everybody just YOLOs dev as an admin on their Macs.
