Backport of #63055

Although the original PR was marked semver-major per policy, I don't think landing this would break anyone, on the contrary not landing it would IMO force the project to cut the EOL of Node.js 26 earlier if we're no longer able to build x86_64 binaries for macOS. The intent of this PR is not to stop providing support for Intel on macOS, it's to communicate that there's some uncertainty on the ability for the project to provide the universal binaries.
