It's always using a VM so I am guessing Rosetta is involved and a x86 emulation ist happening. (Again, this is a guess!)
If docker is a priority, Asahi Linux might be a great option, but this will of course create new problems, as it's far from done, and switching to Linux is a project on its own.
I for myself use a Debian ARM64 VM in UTM to have the most control over the VM and then just use docker in there. Works much better than I anticipated.
