Sorry, but that is completely dodging the question.

  OK, let me explain, the device would need to have Windows 11 running
in a VM, and mind you that isn't a complaint because remaining with
x86 just for Wine wouldn't make sense, Apple was smart to dump
IntelAMD.  It's convenient that I can operate this app under Wine,
with Linux and x86 hardware, but in the future I would love to see
Linux for ARM on a new device.

As was already explained to you, that's false.
WiNE is available to run ARM Windows apps on the Mac.

 To address your question, directly, I upped the specs to give me 32 GB
RAM and such.  That which would give me what's needed to make macOS
shine as a driver OS.

But since that proceeded from a false assumption...
