Support for real nested virtualization is basically impossible unless you are using an M2 for ARM virtualization. However, a solution via emulating the nested virtual machine is possible. A user pointed out that it would be unbearably slow on M1, but the upgrades of later and future M-series chips in addition to the highered specs of high-end Macs could make it faster. The M2 chip supports nested virtualization already for ARM.
