Your version of libvirt (as well as QEMU and virt-manager, I assume) is fairly old, and aarch64 support specifically has seen quite a few improvements in the meantime. On my Fedora 31 laptop, which has qemu-system-aarch64-4.2.0-2.fc31.x86_64 libvirt-5.10.0-2.fc31.x86_64 virt-manager-2.2.1-2.fc31.noarch I can run the above and, after some time, get a login prompt on the serial console.
