I don't have a Debian system, but you are probably right. I did a quick
check of running an Etoys-To-Go-5.0 image on a 64-bit interpreter VM,
compiled locally, version level 4.16.3-3748. It seems to run fine on my
64-bit Ubuntu. But the 4.10.2-2614 VM is really quite old now and probably
does have some issues on a 64-bit system.

Being Debian, I suspect that the VM needs to be compiled from source, is
that right? Or would a pre-compiled VM be sufficient?

I am not in a position to set up a Debian system, so hopefully someone
else can volunteer to check this out.
