Sure, this system will be intact. My questions directs more into
the philosophy of this form of packaging.

If i remove i386 rpms - some x86_64 rpms will miss files!

My integrity checks include also rpm -V and in that situations it
fails.

I haven't investigate it very deeply - but all rpms for a
small server - lets say a webserver - exists for a x86_64
arch, right. Why installing i386 packages, thought ?

Because x86_64 is able to run i386 binaries, if the suitable libraries is available. With the default setup, you can just install a normal i386 rpm and it will work. You can unselect this in the package selection ("legacy arch"), if I remember correctly.
