If you put two fingerprints aligned in two lines, it takes less than a
second to see if they differ or not, whatever is the lengh, even 256 bytes.
The brain is a nice piece of work.

So, I don't think it makes a big difference if the fingerprint is 32 or
64 bytes long. No user in the real world would read it anyway. Usually a
piece of software would do the job of fingerprint comparing.
If we agree on this as the use case, we can switch to SHA512 for the
fingerprint.
However I'm not convinced we can ignore manual verification. If I send
you my public key and then call you to check whether you got it, how
are you going to tell me what you got?
