Have you tried chmoding 755 /usr/local/share/systemtap/tapset so it is writable? That could fix it?
chmod 755 /usr/local/share/systemtap/tapset
brew link node
Also try this if it does not work (may work):
brew cleanup
brew link node
brew uninstall node
brew install node

Depending on your project dependencies, you might find it necessary to run node on an x86 architecture as it may get you past frustrating errors on older versions of node. If like me you had already installed node in your attempts here, you can use the following to help get you sorted (assuming you have already installed NVM):
$ nvm uninstall 14
$ arch -x86_64 zsh
$ nvm install 14
$ nvm alias default 14
Consider replacing 14 above with whichever node version you are attempting to run under.
After installing, you can run node followed process.arch to confirm that node is running in x64 mode:
$ node
> process.arch
'x64'

I just got my M1 Mac mini. I did add an alias since I use oh-my-zsh to my ~/.zshrc for alias brew=arch -x86_64 brew so I don't have to keep typing all that. I brew install nvm then nvm ls-remote and installed v15.5.0. It gets built DV8_TARGET_ARCH_ARM64.
Hope that helps. I also pulled the insiders VSCode for ARM64. Loads in a second.
> node -p "process.arch"
arm64
Don't forget you need xcode-select --install command line tools (~450MB).
