In theory and according to our docs, one can use our tooling locally or remotely.
But in practice, the stark2snark prover only works on some hardware.
This is a frequent point of confusion for users -- would be good to clarify the current status and recommended workflow(s) in the docs.

This was a major issue twice for users in the past two weeks

I would propose to highlight this in the docs somewhat strongly ASAP if #1749 is not priority to resolve very soon.

Idea: could we insert a compile time error to mention this issue until it's resolved for those using metal and other non-supported GPUs? Would help users a ton while this is not resolved

Can't really do that given the prover is selected at runtime rather than compile time (through env variables).
