ARM64 only is supported
see [Rancher Support Matrix](https://www.suse.com/suse-rancher/support-matrix/all-supported-versions/rancher-v2-13-1/)
Rancher supports ARM64 provided that the cluster is not a mixed-architecture environment (x86 and ARM64). For more details, refer to the [Rancher Support Matrix](https://www.suse.com/suse-rancher/support-matrix/all-supported-versions/rancher-v2-13-1/).

:::caution

Running on an ARM64 mixed architecture platform is currently an experimental feature and is not yet officially supported in Rancher. Therefore, we do not recommend using ARM64 mixed architecture based nodes in a production environment.

Your suggestion does read better, but it needs to say that Ranchers supports ARM64 when it is not a mixed architecture (x86 and ARM64 together)

@LucasSaintarbor linking to the 2.13.1 support matrix is enough. I will add that information box in the other 2.12.x Support Matrix pages, so if someone looks at those they will see that we officially added the support in 2.12.x
