Bluetooth with USB Type C Model M controller
While doing a bit of research, I discovered a few repos on GitHub that already solved this problem (USB interface for IBM Model M keyboard, Model M Type C and Model H).

IBM PS/2 Keyboard Modification
Another possible mod for the keyboard, although purists would possibly not like it, is upgrading the controller board so that it speaks directly USB. Here are some pages I found on the subject:

IBM PS/2 Keyboard Modification
You only need a bare minimum host controller (USB 1.1) to accept a keyboard, and hardcode everything in the firmware to assume one. A suitable MCU is pretty cheap:

Looks like someone already made (at least the source) for an adapter based around that MCU family available:

As for relative lack of availability, I think that says more about how many people want to use an old keyboard with a new computer (semi-common) vs. a new keyboard with an old computer (rare).
What are some alternatives?
