After hours of glitches and errors, I was finally able to get GTA 5 working on my new MacBook Pro with the new M1 chip! I started by downloading Parallels 16 for M1 (Request Only) and signing up for the Windows Insider Program, then switching to a dev channel. This gave me access to the latest ARM64 windows build. I fixed my settings and downloaded the Epic Games Launcher. After a few errors I was able to start the GTA download. I then installed the required software and there it was! GTA was running at 15-30 FPS mainly due to support issues. By early 2021 I think the performance should be way better, maybe even 60 frames. In conclusion, it is possible (with effort) to get x86 64 bit games on M1 Macs.
