Wouldn't flatpak insulate the problem? You can already get mesa through it.
I'm sure 32bit shared object files are also free game.
Apparently there's a few problems with the flatpak version, like you can't ~~run gamescope or~~ start a steam big picture session.
Is that an nvidia only thing because both of those worked when I tried them. Although when using gamescope I couldn't figure out how to get the steam overlay.
I use big picture often though with NO man sky
I don't know much myself, check the fedora thread where they go into more details.
