VST plugins do work on silicon Mac in native mode IF they contain both architectures.
For example, RoughRider3 works fine. You can verify the supported architectures from the terminal.
cd /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/RoughRider3.vst3/Contents/MacOS
lipo -archs  RoughRider3                                           
x86_64 arm64

The SPAN plugin doesn't have an arm64 component:
cd /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/SPAN.vst3/Contents/MacOS
lipo -archs SPAN       
x86_64


You need to get your plugin vendor to add the arm64 arch.

Added: Just verified the 'prevents sleep' remains 'yes' after a music stop but only changes to 'no' after the first sleep attempt which then allows the second sleep to succeed.  So this is a change in behavior where 62 would close the session on stop however this version only closes the session on first sleep after stop.  Is it possible you move the session close back to the stop button callback instead of keeping it lazy open until sleep?

Nothing has changed since build 62 in regards to coreaudio open/closing.
I can't reproduce your results, I tried Catalina Intel and Big Sur on both Intel and Silicon.
I can only assume it's something specific about your setup.
Are you running Media Server?
What are your track transition settings?

Running Media Server, yes... attached are my settings but more simply you can see though MC is stopped and not playing anything it is still showing 'prevents sleep' YES in Activity Monitor.  This is the telltale sign.

Like I said, if I can't reproduce it obviously activity monitor will show nothing.

Try running in regular mode, not media server mode, and see if the problem is still there for you.

I got a chance to try this with media server mode. That does seem to be the issue.
Activity monitor's view of that sleeping flag doesn't appear to be very useful, when mine was NOT in media server mode it slept even though that prevent sleep was displayed as Yes both before and after it slept.
