You don't need an extra core only for it. Even with the PowerPC acceleration cards for Amigas, only a single CPU is used at the same time (the 68k was put on hold when the PowerPC was running).

Extra cores can be used for additional tasks (e.g.: offloading tasks to the host system, or optimizing code hot spots), but certainly not for emulating multiple CPUs in parallel (at least for the Emu68 scope / how it workds).

AArch64's big-endian mode and 32 GPR programming model have less translation overhead when compared to little-endian/16 GPR X86-64's PPC emulation. AArch64 can match PPC on arithmetic operations and the discrete load-store RISC instruction model.

I doubt that the MOVBE instruction is used on (Win)UAE JIT, and here a good performance boost can come.

Besides that, x86-64 has other advantages compared to AArch64: load-op, op-store, rep instructions, and especially large immediates support. So, the CISC way -> it's easier to mimick the 68k code execution, and it's also more efficient (less pipeline stalls due to depending, less instructions executed).
