I had to visit that decision a while ago and aside from the plugin 
compatibility issues you say are handled a marginally bigger list of pros/cons 
is:

That being said, we have used x64 since Office 2013 came out without issue.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Office 64bit improvements other than Excel

Hello everyone,
Is Outlook 64-bit better with large PSTs, in any way?

We will be embarking on a company-wide upgrade to Office 2016, and I have to 
decide if it will be 64-bit by default, or stay 32-bit.

Ignoring plugin compatibility (just trust me we have that part handled), are 
there any benefits to using Office 2016 64-bit outside of large Excel files?

I'm looking for a technical citation, thus far I haven't found anything beyond 
64bit being immune to certain security issues.

Regards,
Daniel Wolf
