Colima cause system crash on MacOS M1

Description
I need to develop x86 software on an Apple M1 Macbook Pro, so my solution was to use Colima with Rosetta support. I did the setup with this command:
colima start --arch aarch64 --vm-type=vz --vz-rosetta --cpu 8 --memory 8
It works perfectly until I stay in the Lima VM (and any conatiner in Colima), but unfortunatelly all other ative Apple M1 app are frequently crashes. (MacOs Calendar, Chrome, Slack, etcd)
I tried to narrow the issue down, and until Colima is not started, everything is ok. After that, random crashes are came. One more thing, if I stop Colima, usually a full system reboot needs to be done, to get rid of all the issues.

Output of colima status

Reproduction Steps
- Start Colima with command
colima start --arch aarch64 --vm-type=vz --vz-rosetta --cpu 8 --memory 8 - Use it a bit (attach a VSCode, run some golang tests)
- Watch other Mac apps as they not responding/crashing ...
Expected behaviour
It would be great if all the native apple apps remain workable after Colima is started.
Additional context
I created a development x86 container in Colima with the --platform linux/amd64, and attached a VSCode to it. I don't know if it matters, probably not.
