So far no method of getting Yuzu to work via crossover or parallels has been achieved. Even if it were possible, performance would likely be suboptimal especially on lower end M1 devices. Considering Yuzu is developed by the same team who worked on Citra, a Nintendo 3DS emulator which was successfully ported to macOS a long time ago, it stands to reason that a Yuzu port is possible and will come eventually.
