I have recently made the change, and as far as I can see,
  - java works in Konqueror all right, built in, needs no plugin. Some sites
    may give problems, but most work.
  - It is pretty easy to build a (s)chroot jail, where everything 32-bit
    things just work. I have xine playing videos with closed-source codecs,
    iceweasel with java, flash, the works.
  - It does take a bit of time to set it all up. Easier if you can keep
    (or rebuild) a 32-bit installation for such purposes.

This is just my newbie experience. But I was surprised how easy it really
was.

Best regards
