Can I get the M1 performance boost for the native plugs but still use the Intel plugs in parallel?
Logic for example can handle ARM and Intel (via Rosetta I guess) in kind of an hybrid mode. Is something like that possible with Reaper?
Thank you!

Go for it. Reaper has the same hybrid ARM/Intel capability. When I switched to an M1 I noticed that my non-M1 plugins seemed to run in Rosetta just as fast if not a little faster than they did on my Intel machine. But when the plugins are updated to be M1 native then they become much faster.
These days it seems like M1 support is becoming pretty common. Native Instruments even just released an M1 version of Kontakt which is big news.
