Based on everything described, it sounds more like a lack of support and optimization rather than a fundamental flaw in arm

Yes. I may be biased but the Arm architecture itself is fine and pretty performant on modern SoCs. Once the system vendors actually manage to ship something without a broken PCIe bus is happily daily drive it.

Hell if I could reliably get EL2 I'd even spring for one of the Snapdragon laptops.
