Don't know much about the desktop or Slackware, but we've certainly 
shipped 1000's of machines with 64-bit distros.
(I shan't plunge into the current AMD versus Intel thread.)

A 64 bit machine will happily run a 32 bit distro though (I have done 
this). So if you are really concerned about those apps and plugins you 
could at worst do a 32 bit install. Or run 64 bit and use Xen instance 
for the 32 bit applications which refuse to run.
