Mount Ext4 on M1 or M1Pro or M1Max

I know this question has been asked many times. Everyone finds their own solution. I used to mount Ext4 via FUSE. But with the move to Big Sur I had to mount Ext4 using VirtualBox. But VirtualBox refuses to work with M1. I tried to do the same operation with QEMU. But I couldn't find anywhere guidance on how to integrate the disk connected to QEMU into Big Sur system. I would like to have the flash drive mounted automatically as soon as it is connected. What is the easiest way to connect Ext4 to Macbook Air M1? Do I need to upgrade to a Macbook Pro M1Pro or M1Max? Maybe Apple has included support for the Ext4 driver in the Pro versions?
