It seems that i now and then encounter problem when working with the Kali VM where the Host system is MacOS with an M1 chip.
For example i tried to run a 64-bit ELF binary in a Kali terminal and i get the error message
zsh: exec format error: I also tried to run it in a bash terminal, same issue.

But my question in general is more in regards to if it makes sense as a penetration tester to work with an M1 chip or will i encounter more and more problems due to lack of M1 support ?

M1 chip needs an ARM kali, choose pinebook version

There is an ISO for Apple M1 Silicon ARM to download on the official Kali web page.
Shouldn't be that one the right one ?
