Possibly. We'd need to ask MacStadium for a second node with Apple
Silicon (they're already sponsoring the node that I use to build the
x86_64 binaries). What makes this a bit complicated is that I don't
have a management account to do that. LilyPond's entry in MacStadium's
open source program is managed by a person who isn't actively
contributing to (core) LilyPond (not even reading the mailing list
IIRC), and communication via him was kind of slow / painful in the
past...

Did you try running the x86_64 binaries via Apple's Rosetta tool? That
might be a bit slower than native executables, but given that Homebrew
builds 2.22.2 without Guile bytecode, it might actually be comparable.
