I'm not targeting RPi2; there are a lot of RPi4 with less than 8GB RAM (most of

Like it or not, as long as Raspberry does not explicitly deprecate the 32-bit
OS, people will continue to use it, and for good reasons.
As of now, it is even 'Our recommended operating system for most users.':
I'd say "most users" != "the people who want to run QEMU here". If you
really really want to run QEMU on such a system, you can also install a
64-bit OS there.
Please also consider that we're only talking about marking the 32-bit arm
hosts as deprecated in our docs right now. It will take another year (or
maybe more) until the deprecation will turn into a real unsupported state. I
assume by that point in time, more and more RPi users will have switched to
a 64-bit OS instead.
