I should be able to run the protoc-3.11.0-osx-x86_64.exe for intel, but I haven't figure out yet if it is possible to override the arch in the plugin config. I will check that shortly.
I might also be able to specify the path to protoc outright, as I have protoc installed via brew elsewhere. Still, it would be nice to have a protoc-*-osx-aarch_64.exe available so that it works cross-platform.
I also have a brew installed protoc that seems to be compiled for arm, if you need it.
