OSRM has supported 64-bit ids since last November:
 
https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/commit/9005fe2f61aa5478c5bf0bef5ec76843af04f93e

That said, for memory-intensive applications such as OSRM, the switch to
64-bit ids can imply a massive increase in memory consumption. When working
with extracts (either thematic or geographic), it may prove wiser to filter
the data first; renumber ids into a 32-bit space, using osmium-renumber or
similar; and then run a 32-bit version of the software.

cheers
Richard
