I highly recommend spending a couple hundred extra bucks and getting the macbook pro instead of the Air.
The Air has no fans and will throttle cpu extensively under medium - heavy usage. You will feel this and it is quite frustrating.
I also recommend you get at least 16GB RAM. I own a 2019 Mac Pro and my M1 16" MBP blows it out of this universe on every metric.
Docker runs fine, but you will need to add --Platform flag on some images to set the build platform as it will attempt to build for ARM if available. Other than that, it shouldn't require anything different.
