Apple Silicon for developers?

It seems that the performance is great on Apple Silicon macs. iOS developer can jump in the new hardware but what about others, like Web developers? Homebrew is not fully Arm'ed yet and CLI tools via terminal app runs through Rosseta?
Then virtualization? It might be hard at this moment.
And more importantly, our production services are running on x86 servers. It may be a discrepancy between servers and the dev environment.
Or go with VPS+SSH? This doesn't use Apple silicon architecture at all but you can show off your new mac devices to your friends without worrying about the development environment.
Any thoughts?
P.S. As an indie developer, I created Online Linux Terminal, Wazaterm which you just need a browser to have a Linux terminal. You can check this out if you choose VPS+SSH :)
