One practical advantage is that the 64-bit version works in Mac Caralina?

Where did you acquire this misinformation. For years I have had both 32 & 64 bit JRE installed and never encountered any issues. > I therefore must remove one of the JREs from my machine.....

Provided you tell AOO to use the 32bit JRE and LO to use the 64bit JRE it will not be a problem for you.
