Honestly I'm not sure. TTBOMK wine directly won't run on anything 
else than i386, amd64, arm64.

But there's some info on the box64 blog about running translated 
games on looong64, possibly with wine or proton -inside- box64. That 
would again need CONFIG_NTSYNC.

So maybe it makes sense to enable this on everything that can 
reasonably to be expected to run games.
