old notes which may not all apply:

For deciding which DR to inject, probably should just have 64-bit config take precedence: if 32-bit config is also present, too bad, it gets ignored.

For the child-doesn't-equal parent cases we'll have to have the other architecture's bootstrap code to inject into the child (or for 64-to-32 fool the loader into loading the 32-bit lib if go early and run 64-bit bootstrap code): will require a cross-compiled asm routine, or gencode, for inject-into-thread.

Perhaps worth reconsidering what we really want to bother to support here (PR 240257).

One plan is to never support 32-bit DR following into 64-bit child. Long-term we'll only support 64-bit-DR in WOW64 following children (PR 253431). Only when a client hasn't been ported will we support 32-bit DR in a WOW64 process, So if dr64 is in a process that launches a wow64 child foo.exe where foo.exe has only a wow64 config, our stance is that we won't inject into the child (since we don't bother to support cross-arch child injection) and you'll have to rely on AppInit.
