>Many distributions leave the possibility to map address 0, mostly because of Wine, it seems.
Which (assuming it's true), is fairly silly. Wine only needs it to run DOS binaries (apparently it used to need it to run some or all win16 binaries, but it hasn't done for years), but it's always been really bad at that anyway, and better methods exist (notably Dosbox).

Does dosemu need to map address 0?

I would imagine so, though I've not used it in eight or nine years so couldn't really say...

Dosemu needs it, dosbox doesn't.

Even for win16 binaries, Wine doesn't need page 0 anymore.
