I know that the developers of Wine are having to do a lot of engineering to get
32-bit Windows apps to run under Catalina, since Apple has thoroughly removed
the ability to run any 32-bit code from Catalina. I don't know about Docker or
Linux containers or the hypervisor, but I would not expect to be able to run
32-bit anything on Catalina and later. Install Catalina on a volume that is not
your main boot volume and try it out. If you have room on your main disk and it
is APFS-formatted, you can easily create a new volume in Disk Utility that will
share the free space, and if it doesn't work out, you can delete the volume
later.
