M1 MBP how to always Turn on Verbose Booting for OS 12.3

In the good old days of Intel Mac, you entered 

sudo nvram boot-args=”-v”

in Terminal and it worked.  I tried this on my M1 MBP and it did not work.  On the internet I did not find much information.  One titbit I found is here: https://eclecticlight.co/2020/11/28/startup-modes-for-m1-macs/

Howard states there: However, this no longer appears to work in macOS 11.2 and later.

However, on my Intel MBP’ with 12.3.1 it works fine.

He also states: You should also be very careful when working with NVRAM settings on an M1 Mac: any errors or problems may require a complete system reinstall, apparently.

Does anybody agree with that in case of activating Verbose Mode?  

So, two questions:

1.     Is it possible to activate and if so how?

2.     Any dangers that anybody is aware of?

Thanks. 

It begs the question as to why, what are you trying to trouble shoot...(?)
