All (well, very nearly all) the software I need is available in 64-bit
versions, partially because I disdain proprietary software, so running
64-bit gives better performance with little cost.

Yes, it will. There will be fewer and fewer issues as 64-bit operation
becomes the norm.
My current advice is to read the FAQ and if anything mentioned is an issue
for you, go with 32-bit. You lose some, but also gain some ease of use.
