Is it possible to boot an M1 Mac into Verbose Mode? I don't need it for anything specifically - I'm just wondering.

Also, if it is possible, can you run sudo nvram boot-args="-v" to enable it, or does this only work on Intel?
 
That command does not work on M1 -- only intel.
Apparently, you may not want to even try it out, risking the need to reinstall your system.
