Oh, wow, Windows gaming on a Mac. Yeah, I figure that was never going to be quite as good on a non-Intel platform than on an Intel one. I haven't even tried.
I'm actually amazed at how well the Rosetta layer works with Intel-based Mac software. There are a few things I've had to update, most notably the Sagemath computer algebra system and MAME, but I was using very old builds of those which may not have been entirely working in the first place. Some things you'd expect to be tricky, like some other retro game emulators and the X-Plane 11 flight simulator, just worked with no trouble at all.
And in some other cases the Apple Silicon-native version is glitchier just because it's a new major version, not as mature yet.
