That is true. If you read the thread, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Most personal computers by 2038 will have advanced beyond 32-bit processors, but some mainframes will still have the 32-bit processors that cause Y2K38. And if the mainframes go down, we go down.

Wrong. That is horribly wrong.
No major systems will be run on that legacy hardware. Only setups for fun and learning labs will use that stuff.
ALL server side apps that require 32-bit processing(mostly just legacy software used just for backwards compatibility) will be run in virtual machines on the servers that probably are at 128-bit or better circuitry. This could all be false as we may have AI that can rewrite all antiquated software to work with buses that are larger than 32-bit and/or it may not even be required to update the software to use more of the circuitry because those applications will be run as virtual apps inside of a primary Network Operating System(we call these NOS's) anyway.
