If the installation media can not install onto BIOS-only machines

probably just rebuild the F36 installer every so often, pointing it at
newer repos by default each time. Long term that might be a little
weird - if the installed system stops knowing about BIOS partition
tables you might end up with a machine unable to inspect its own disk
layout from like gnome-disks - but...
