It may depend on the services you are running on this server.
You may see if some are in used with lsof, but not 100% sure, if some
process dynamically loads such libraries when running, not only at
startup.

Depends thus on your services.

They are still available, thanks to the updates-archive repo provided
by the fedora-repos-archive RPM.
Example:
sudo dnf -y install fedora-repos-archive
# Better IMO to disable this repo by default
sudo dnf config-manager disable updates-archive
dnf -q --enablerepo=updates-archive --releasever=32 \
list compat-openssl10-1.0.2o-9.fc32
Available packages
compat-openssl10.i686 1:1.0.2o-9.fc32 fedora
compat-openssl10.x86_64 1:1.0.2o-9.fc32 fedora
THat said, you should also for safety make a backup of your OS first,
eventually only a backup of /etc
