From what I've read, Apple will require notarization on Apple silicon. If that holds for both desktop apps and cli software, it would be neigh impossible to use a mac for development. So I imagine/hope they will have a way of handling OSS better.

That's not true. They're requiring all executables to be signed on Apple Silicon systems, but that's as an ad hoc signature added by the linker at link time. There's no additional cost or overhead on AS.
