Also note following version info:
Macos 14.4.1, ARM64
tf.version = 2.16.1
python=3.9
Although I've tried python 3.12, 3.10, 3.8.

Thanks for these replies! I'll try them both today or tomorrow.
I was able to get a fresh install to work on a different MacBook Air M2. Although simple tf/keras/gpu test scripts required several edits to even run and display versions and available devices!
I've seen a comment on yt that the reason I can't find answers is because M3 users likely prefer the apple mlx libraries over tensorflow due to unified memory support. Thoughts?
Well, I finally got it to install. I'm not sure what made it work, but I did some things:
Removed Python 3.12 and install 3.11.9
Added parameters to .condarc file:
channels:
- apple
- conda-forge
- defaults
subdirs:
- osx-arm64
- osx-64
- noarch
Reran the 3 steps above. Note that the tensorflow_deps still threw an error but the rest worked!
Reran the config test below, which now shows GPU present!
>>> tf.__version__
'2.16.1'
>>> tf.config.list_physical_devices()
[PhysicalDevice(name='/physical_device:CPU:0', device_type='CPU'), PhysicalDevice(name='/physical_device:GPU:0', device_type='GPU')]
