You can already do this work on M1/M2 using Asahi. A compute server doesn't need fully working peripherals and external displays.

I do have an M2 Macbook running Asahi, which works amazingly well for my casual use, but I think that there is no way that anyone will use last last gen hardware on a volunteer-developed OS for any actual work, server use cases, and so on.

How would GPGPU work in such a scenario?

The M1/M2 GPU is supported via Vulkan Compute. (Or OpenCL/SYCL, going through rusticl.)
