Wow. And yet, no Mac version. Anyone got it to work on Linux/Proton?

It’s a mod so you can run it against a Quake source port, of which there are Apple Silicon ports:

There are also Linux native ports too, so no need to use Proton.

With vkQuake on macOS (qbj3 and id1 in /Applications), I get "HOST_ERROR: Model progs/v_axe2.mdl not found"... their docs say if it's not ironwail then "expect issues". :-\
