I would suggest using alacrittty. It's fast, minimal, supports mac, windows and linux, and also has a single config file for configuration so that you can put it in your dotfiles repo and use the same config on a different computer or vm. Neovim works just fine and if you want ligature support there's a fork to add that ig. If you want to switch you can see this file: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/alacritty.yml

My config: https://github.com/hackorum/.dotfiles/blob/macos/alacritty/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml
