Recently updated to Monterey 12.2.1 on a MB M1 Pro 16". From time to time, the trackpad on the laptop becomes unresponsive. It may then come back to life on its own, or it may require a reboot. I have an iPad running on the same wifi network, and 12.2.1 extends the use of the MB trackpad to the iPad. Is the problem with the trackpad related to that new feature?
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

On your M1 try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262 to sort anomalies.
Log in and test, reboot as normal and test
if no resolve or insight you can file a bug report or submit your Apple Feedback
