@Zozo919 prototype74's reply couldn't have been any clearer..

Best ROM for the J5 2016 is said to be this specific LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10) one. Read more about it in the comments which follow the comment from my link.

Disclaimer: I have NOT tested it myself (yet, but have been planning to) !!

First of all, Camera API 2 doesn't need 64bit support from ROM, it also works with 32bit.
It's true, that MSM8916 is capable of arm64, however, Samsung shipped the J5 2015 and 2016 series with a 32bit kernel and ROM. "Swapping" the kernel with a 64bit kernel isn't that easy as it sounds like. All lot of stuff inside kernel needs to be rewritten, starting with architecture from arm -> arm64, device tree, configs then the drivers, building it with aarch64 toolchain etc.
That's plenty much of work which needs to be done which may ends up in a too big kernel size for the J5's boot partition. imo it's not worth it to put much time in it as making the 64bit kernel itself doesn't enable 64bit support in ROM which answers your question.
Kernel and ROM have 2 different working environments. While a 64bit supported kernel works on 64bit, does the ROM still work on 32bit. 64bit blobs, binaries, vendor, ramdisk etc. are required in order to make the ROM 64bit compatible.
Here comes the bad news: there is no Samsung MSM8916 device which ever got a 64bit enabled Kernel and ROM

64 bit mode process faster than 32bit in any case even if you have 1mb ram or 1mhz cpu frequency. poor samsung engineer don't create 64 bit for their products

Well Samsung did that starting with the Galaxy S6 and newer but yes they didn't for any of their msm8916/msm8929/msm8939 devices. But that doesn't prevent me to try to bring up an arm64 based kernel to the Galaxy J5 2016. I'm currently working on it but samsung's own code, especially the debugging stuff, in msm8916 source isn't really arm64 friendly, I have to patch them to make aarch64 toolchains happy. Anyway, there is still plenty much of work to do before 64bit can be a thing on J5. I'm not even sure if it will ever boot...

.. and after the kernel, kernel extensions aka drivers for the hardware need to be aarch64, too, for which they'd need to be open source, too. If not: no chance

So let me in, I can overclock the cpu up to 2.13GHz and drop the J5 voltage. Can you refer my custom kernel, I really feel good about it but I want to go further to overclock it more, maybe you can help me. I will cooperate!

That's not really an issue. Qualcomm released arm64-v8a blobs for msm8916, so at least AOSP devs could profit from it.
Anyway, I'm half way done with arm64 kernel. 80% of all drivers are compiled (including j5x specific drivers), however, Samsung's debugging system is really though. It will take some time to convert it to arm64.

Currently stock 7.1.1 to ensure kernel stuff are working fine. After that I will move on to Android O.

    Yes it's definitely planned but I haven't started to custom rom devving for J5 2016 yet. I'm still searching for a samsung snapdragon device that's the closest to our msm8916 proprietary software (spoiler: found some candidates, still need some tests tho). Therefore a name doesn't exist, not that I'm actually interested to give ROM names nowadays.

    This is actually great because that also mean our bootloader is indeed capable to decompress arm64 kernels (and boot them in 64-bit mode?)!
    However the bad news is, so many things are broken. Literally no (with no I really mean NO) hardware device features (especially input devices) do work that means touchscreen, key buttons, connected mouse and keyboards, camera, sound card, sensors (probably even more) are not working. Not even the battery driver works as you can see in the screenshots (shows 0% even tho the battery was fully charged). Only the display and the USB (but not MTP) did work. Also the kernel panics (device hard reboots) after 3 mins (sometimes after 7 mins) of uptime, which made it difficult to take these screenshots in attachments.
    For some reasons all drivers fail at probe according to kernel logs. Idk why but I guess there is something wrong in the pinctrl and/or gpio(mux). I hope it's just a kernel config thing as converting samsung's code was an exhausting work already.

    Anyways, it's a milestone that the kernel did boot on J5 2016. But still we're not close to a functional and usable arm64 kernel. It just need more time and (especially) patience.

    Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on your cutting-edge ventures!

    Aarch64 compiled kernel booted: great, congrats! Accdg. to https://stackoverflow.com/a/73696522, armv8l means the kernel - even though built to run on an ARMv8 chip = 64 bit CPU - runs in 32-bit mode (?)

    No hardware device features: yeah that's what I feared for 64 bit. But that would mean that the kernel, even though running in 32-bit mode, is already requiring 64-bit drivers? Hmm.

    Not sure how it is with Android in this case, if all or some device drivers are open source or rather Samsung propriety.

    I'm not 100% sure if armv8l kernel means it's operating in 64bit or 32bit mode. It could also be due to the combination of arm64 kernel + arm OS (stock rom runs obviously in 32 bit mode). I've seen other samsung devices using arm64 kernel and arm OS (mostly exynos 7570, 7870 and msm8917) but also some devices using full arm64 kernel and OS (e.g. galaxy s7 edge), it's still displaying their arch as armv8l. Anyways, I'm 100% sure the toolchain I used was aarch64 and also cpuinfo shows "AArch64 Processor (aarch64)" whereas on stock it was showing "ARMv7 Processor (v7l)".

    I wouldn't worry much about the drivers, they can operate in 64bit and 32bit mode. I'm sure something else causes them currently not to work. Everything is fixable but the way to get to it takes a lot of efforts.

    Only kernel-side drivers from Samsung are open source, vendor proprietary (ROM-side) from Samsung are not. This is why most of the time the cameras aren't working in early releases on newer android custom roms (aosp or ported, doesn't matter)
