32-bit isn't an issue. You reference Y2038, but this is only an issue when you care about binary compatibility, which you do not. Wikipedia says:
"Linux originally used a 64-bit time_t for 64-bit architectures only; the pure 32-bit ABI was not changed due to backward compatibility.[15] Starting with version 5.6, 64-bit time_t is supported on 32-bit architectures, too. This was done primarily for the sake of embedded Linux systems."
There is absolutely no need for a 64-bit processor in a device with less than 4GB RAM.
