Can native Apple Silicon plugins run natively if there are also non-native plugins installed?

I've heard somewhere that if I have at least one plugin installed that does not natively support Apple Silicon, then this will force Logic and all other plugins to run via Rosetta 2, regardless of whether or not those other plugins do support Apple Silicon natively.

Is this true?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

Apple Silicon - Third Party Software: M1 vs. M1 Pro/Max Recall that when the first M1 Macs hit the market in 2020, most third party software companies had to play catch up to make their software work fully compatible with Apple Silicon and the M1 chip (not talking about Rosetta 2, rather fully compatible). So, now that there is a new line of MacBook Pros with either the M1 Pro or M1 Max, is there any difference between M1 chip types that would cause existing M1 third party software to NOT be fully compatible with the new M1 Pro or M1 Max?

Can Rosetta 2 be installed on a Mac with an Intel processor with no negative affects? I'm using an application to install all our software on Macs that can't determine what processor is being used. I realize this isn't the perfect solution but I need to install Rosetta 2 onto all of our Macs. Most of them are not using M1 chips at this time but the application I use to install software does not have the ability to determine what chip is running. If I do this is there going to be any negative affects on the Macs running Intel chips? Thanks.
