LuaJIT would also work with ARM though, so would it be possible to swap it out?

Indeed, LuaJIT support for Windows/Arm64 was added in https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/593, and there’s experimental out-of-tree support for Windows/Arm64EC in https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/1096

Swapping out is possible only if there are shared libraries though.

For statically linked programs is there anything that can be done?

Valve does a lot of hacks in Proton to make particular games run better. I think swapping a static library might also be possible if you target a particular game.
