Say, do we have i386 release notes for trixie then?

Not specifically. For bookworm and older we had one release-notes document per architecture (produced from one set of source code with an #ifdef-equivalent) but for trixie we have a single release-notes document that is common to all architectures, https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/release-notes/ (and any architecture-specifics are called out in the text).

If not (and perhaps even if), might also make sense to document
the state of i386 support in the amd64 release notes

Already partially done, with more changes pending:
https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/release-notes/issues.en.html#reduced-support-for-i386,
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/merge_requests/238,
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/merge_requests/261

If someone wants to write up the removal of Secure Boot support for the relatively rare amd64 machines that have 32-bit EFI (Bay Trail and possibly some older Macs), the "Issues" section seems like it would be the place to put that, too.
