Apple Silicon (M1/M2) and eGPU support

I have an eGPU enclosure (thunderbolt 3) that I used with great delight on my 2017 MacBook Pro 15". It worked great in BootCamp with windows. Struggled to get stable usage under macOS. Now I find out that eGPU is a no-go on apple chips. What gives? Anyone been able to get this going on the newer M1/M2's?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.4
