Can I safely remove all these packages as asked by the message (âUse 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove themâ)?

I know what that message means after sudo apt update, and that it is usually useful and harmless.
But at some point in the past with a different system installation it proposed a lot of programs to remove, and after I did remove them I was left with no operating system.
Is it the case here?
Are the following packages vital ones or I can safely remove them?

As said in a comment by @dedunumax, most packages were 32-bit.
The rest were not vital.
Removing them with sudo apt autoremove was a safe procedure.
(But I will reinstall some of those removed - like python-dbus, which seems useful for the purpose discussed here.)
