Lots of updates including ability to run macOS as a VM,

....only silicon macOS versions not X86 on M1 Macs....ie Big Sur and Monterey...which will be big for some people.

Too bad VM performance on my unsupported Mac Pro 2008 has been broken since macOS 10.14.4. But I can use it for debugging my EFI projects at least.
 
Sound support for Linux is great! Looking forward to try it out, despite myself not using Windows locally for work (Got Citrix for that now!)

If Parallels are using Apple’s new MacOS guest virtualization framework APIs then it is unlikely that Big Sur will be supported. It is likely that Parallels will have to use the new virtualization framework APIs because in the past they said they needed Apple’s help virtualizing MacOS. Though I suppose it might be possible that Apple gave them special access.

I clicked on the link "link of supported guest operating systems" in my screenshot and was taken to this page.

This confirms you are right, only Monterey (when released) will supported as a guest on M1 Macs.

I’m waiting for one of the very talented reverse engineering hackers to reverse these new APIs so we can find out more about what it takes to virtualize Apple Silicon macOS.

Do you need to run Monterey to support a Monterey Guest?

Yes. I've tried both combinations and only Monterey host with Monterey guest works.

Edit: Clarification. I didn't try it on Parallels but using open source software that allows macOS Monterey to run a macOS Monterey guest. The open source software doesn't work on Big Sur and Big Sur throws an error when trying to run it as a guest under Monterey.

Bought it, downloaded/installed, etc and then reinstalled my Windows 10 arm64 image. This time I'm able to download updates within Windows, not just security definition updates.

Let's see how long Windows says 'updates are underway'

Yup, the insider version of Windows 10 arm64 fully updates as long as you change some settings within Windows, don't mind restarting a bunch. Now reinstalling a bunch of games under GOG.

Parallels 17 seems snappier than 16.51 demo.

Now there's a TPM-Chip that you can add in the hardware settings.
