I watched a couple of videos yesterday by musicians using Ableton on their new Apple M3 Max laptops with latest MacOS, talking about how it was dropping audio frames audibly during live performances

I don't think it's safe to assume MacOS would reliably solve your audio latency problem. You may have to experiment.

For a single basic VST? Yes it would. I'm not talking about full projects. I'm familiar with the things you need to tweak to get optimum performance, but Windows and MacOS can handle 1 instrument out of the box. Almost 500ms latency in 2024 without poking around is absurd.
