I run both CentOS and Fedora but at this point I don't run any 32-bit apps because they are no longer needed.
The former reason use to be to run 32-bit browser for 32 bit plugins but flash is now available 64 bit and Java - I believe there is a 64-bit Java plugin from Oracle but there are so many bad security issues with Oracle Java I no longer allow it on my system. Anyway, even though I can run 32-bit apps on Fedora / CentOS there is no need to, not for me anyway. Maybe some commercial 3rd party apps are 32-bit only. I suspect that is getting to be rare.
