Whoa, you put a lot of effort into this and some results, and I am surprised 
that Catalina actually can create 32 bit processes.

That said, what you are doing is not a good way forward. Even if we could make 
it work, and it magically worked on newer MacOS too, doing something Apple 
doesn't support won't work in the long run.

However, the PE split is making progress in Wine, and winex11.drv is now split 
into a .so and .dll file. winemac.drv will be next. According to statements 
from Alexandre on IRC you can already run command line apps in a crossover-
like 32on64 mode. Once the graphics driver is in place GUI apps won't be far 
away. And it will be much cleaner than the solution crossover is using, since 
it won't need a custom C compiler.

So have some patience, a proper solution that works on newer OSes and even 
inside Rosetta 2 is coming. And at some future time we can even include our 
own CPU emulator for ARM support on Linux and for a future without Rosetta 2.
