Is it actually supported to run Asahi linux on an M-series mac? Or is it kind of a sketchy jailbreak type situation?

Yes, fully supported. No jailbrake/security attack required. In fact Apple even fixed bugs in the bootloader that Asahi linux found. They seem to be intentionally enabling other OSs.

Awesome! But I understand the bootloader is still locked down on iPad, even though it's the same SOC, correct?

Sadly, yes I believe the iPads are locked down and would require a jailbreak.
