Welcome to the MongoDB Community @Gregory_Baker!
The relevant public issues to watch for native Apple Silicon support are still as per my answer above. You can subscribe to updates by Watching issues in the MongoDB Jira issue tracker (which uses the same Single Sign-On login as the forums).
As I mentioned, you can run Intel binaries using the M1’s Rosetta Translation environment but this isn’t an officially supported or tested platform for MongoDB applications yet. Intel applications will generally work fine in Rosetta, but you may encounter unexpected issues.
So far MongoDB Server (4.4.5) & Compass (1.26.1) appear to be working fine via Rosetta for my limited development and testing experiments. I currently do more of my development on an Intel MacBook because I have run into some annoying issues with some of my other Intel binaries that haven’t been updated yet. Older Electron apps tend to crash, and I noticed the Electron site has a warning about significant performance degradation with Rosetta 2.
If you’re trying to decide whether to use a Mac with Apple Silicon as your sole computing environment, you might find isapplesiliconready.com handy for checking community feedback on some common applications.
If you are concerned about possible performance or compatibility issues with an Intel mongod server process running via Rosetta, connecting to an externally hosted server or service like MongoDB Atlas is a good alternative.
