Pretty much any external drive should work.
You do have to remember though that they need to be connected either directly to the Mac using a compatible adapter or through a self powered dock for them to work correctly.
I use and can recommend the one linked below. It worked for me on my M1 MacBook Air with Sonoma and now with Sequoia.
but even Apple's own Super Drive should work.

Thanks for the advice. Apple's Superdrive was my first choice but Apple's website shows it's sold out and I read somewhere that Apple has discontinued it.
Did not notice the disabled add to bag button. Interesting.
Hopefully it comes back. But if it doesn't, there's always third party drives.
This is the one that I bought. It is a desktop drive with its own power supply.
The USB-A to USB 3.0 B cable that comes with it is rather short. However, you can get longer USB-A to USB 3.0 B and USB-C to USB 3.0 B cables on Amazon.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that one.
Hi,
You should get self powered external CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive.
