Steam is mostly a solved problem with the Steam Flatpak on Flathub. ("But
boohoo, I want to use the RPM" - I don't care. Valve should make a 64-bit
compatible client already, it's 2025.)
The only remaining blocker from official Fedora repos, is - to my knowledge
- wine, which pulls in 32-bit multilib libraries on x86_64.
With work progressing in Wine upstream to make it possible to run 32-bit
Wine programs with only 64-bit Linux userspace, that will go away soon
(hopefully).
I had planned to file a change proposal for dropping i686 architecture
support entirely as soon as that is possible.
