 Wont they get in trouble with conducted emissions, since only a very small parasitic capacitance from primary to secondary is able to push a lot of current at 64MHz?

Not if you double screen. A conducting screen on each side of the isolation barrier, grounded to its local ground, blocks electrostatic coupling. Of course the currents flowing in the screens produce some voltage drop and that does drive some current across the isolation barrier, but a whole lot less.
Ralph Morrison's 1960 book - "Grounding a Shielding Techniques in Instrumentation" has quite a lot on that, not that 64MHz came into it back then.
