Parallels on M1 here! I followed mitchellh's guide to setup NixOS [0]. He runs an X server on the machine and works entirely within that (minus mail, etc.). I tried that at first then decided against.
I'm now running the machine headless in the Parallels VM, and using VS Code on the host to Remote SSH into the machine. It's absolutely incredible and I highly recommend this workflow. My rationale is here [1].
Fair warning I haven't tried to get any OS other than NixOS installed. Not sure how usable Ubuntu ARM or others are.
