The limitation isn’t really arbitrary once you put a processor in in long mode (64 bit) it can’t do Virtual 8086 Mode any more. One of those things AMD did when designing 64-bit mode to clean up that particular can of hysterical raisins.
…also, even back in the days processors were fast enough to run that old stuff under DOSEMU. Which you probably want to do anyway as you don’t have a Roland MT-32.
