Yes, wine.i686 is still important in the year 2022.

While I don't have a comprehensive list of all use cases stashed somewhere one area I can think of is the fact that Windows application installers may be 32-bit yet carry 64-bit binaries. Examples: 7Zip, Firefox, VirtualBox - Download the .exe files and run "file" on them.

There could also be a game or two that is still 32-bit only. I believe most are transitioning to 64-bit, but I remember a few times with Blizzard games (Starcraft 2, Diablo 3) where the 64-bit binary doesn't work under Wine and the 32-bit version works. I haven't checked lately, but the Windows Steam client may also be 32-bit only. The Linux client is 32-bit.
