There is now a flag for this at chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost.

enter image description here

We've used this for a while, but have since moved to using a proper certificate that is issued to a subdomain we own. That subdomain has an A record that points to 127.0.0.1 and a AAAA that points to ::1.

However, Chrome seems to have an issue with that DNS setup and randomly throws DNS related errors. So you'd want to add the mapping manually to the hosts file as well.

That's what we do right now and it works great.
