Dragon Naturally Speaking for Windows on Apple Silicon under Parallels - Usable?

I am finally considering upgrading my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro with Touch Bar to one of the new M3 laptops. The one productivity tool I'm worried about losing in the transfer is Dragon Dictate, which breaks on Apple Silicon, which means I'll have to run Dragon Naturally Speaking for Windows under Parallels. How feasible is this? My sense is that the M3 shouldn't have any trouble handling such a task, but what would be my minimum MBP configuration in such a scenario?

Thank you,

Steve

Apple Silicon Macs (M1/M2/M3) can only run the 64-bit ARM version of Windows 11 in Parallels Desktop 19.1 and that would also imply that Dragon (as any vendor) would need to specifically compile a 64-bit ARM version of their product for ARM Windows 11. I doubt that has happened.
