Apple Silicon can still build amd64 though right? Using BuildX and arch flags?

I used it, didn’t have any issues but i realize there’s lots of reasons that might not work.

You're right, you can, it's just one more thing to think about.

I also had in mind Docker Desktop's licensing (paid-only for certain companies), but I now realize I was conflating that with Apple Silicon when it applies to Intel Macs too IIRC.
