Not specifically. For bookworm and older we had one release-notes 
document per architecture (produced from one set of source code with an 
#ifdef-equivalent) but for trixie we have a single release-notes 
document that is common to all architectures, 
https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/release-notes/ (and any 
architecture-specifics are called out in the text).

Already partially done, with more changes pending:
https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/release-notes/issues.en.html#reduced-support-for-i386,
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/merge_requests/238,

If someone wants to write up the removal of Secure Boot support for 
the relatively rare amd64 machines that have 32-bit EFI (Bay Trail and 
possibly some older Macs), the "Issues" section seems like it would be 
the place to put that, too.
