Running 64-bit code without a GUI -- for example on a headless device running a web server and/or ssh -- seems to be fine in 512MB, or at

Yes. In tjeh Great Changeover when people were arguing their tits poof
about 64 bit versos 32 bit. I just installed 64 bit because I could.
I noticed no significant difference is speed, memory usage or disk space.
Some graphics heavy shit was a bit faster
You cant really run a GUI on a Zero, once you get rid of that its got
bags of RAM for a dedicated application, 32 or 64 bit
e.g.
$ free -m
total used free shared
buff/cache available
Mem: 429 62 146 34 220
278
Swap: 99 0 99
