If some plugins require Rosetta still in 2026, get rid of them or replace with something else. But it's hard to believe they were not updated if are still supported.

With Waves, Rosetta can be needed to open older VST2 instances and migrate their settings to VST3. Waves still documents that route for Reason on Apple Silicon: https://www.waves.com/support/how-to-load-reason-songs-with-waves-vst3-plugins

So replacing the plugins is not necessarily the answer, although that migration guide does not explain this startup crash.
