A completely unnecessary nerdy over-the-top correction:
you don't need a container. Dnf will install a 32-bit variant of
packages when instructed to do so:
$ sudo dnf5 remove goffice.x86_64
$ sudo dnf5 install gnumeric.i686
$ file -L /usr/bin/gnumeric
/usr/bin/gnumeric: ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, Intel 80386, version 1
(SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2,
BuildID[sha1]=193d0eb6fe9bd71cec29b46a7bdd372687a36d37, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0,
stripped
$ gnumeric
...
I imagine that somebody with a machine with little RAM might use a
32-bit program because it uses less memory… But I think it's not worth
the effort required to keep the 32-bit version alive (including all
dependencies).

Yeah.
