System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19044-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 512.15

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.2.1, branch: master, commit date: 2022-07-05 15:44, hash: a2d59b2dac
Worked: Didn't work in earlier releases either

Short description of error
temp_override() is currently difficult to use, because it for example sets the context for

ops.object.delete()

but not for

ops.object.convert()

I also couldn't get it work for setting active_layer_collection and others.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

temp_override_limited.blend

Open the attached .blend
Run the included script which overrides the context to Cube2 and performs ops.object.convert()
Context error is thrown
Comment the ops.object.convert() line & uncomment ops.object.delete(), run again

Cube2 is deleted

Thanks for the report.
object_convert_poll() function was failing because active object was null in your case. Either set active object by clicking on it in viewport or do it from python api
Does this script works for you?:

from bpy import context

obj = bpy.data.objects["Cube2"]

obj.select_set(True)
context.view_layer.objects.active = obj

with bpy.context.temp_override(object = obj, selected_objects = [obj]):

bpy.ops.object.convert(target='MESH')

    - bpy.ops.object.delete()```

Hi Pratik,
but that's what temp_override() should do.
If you run the script with bpy.ops.object.delete(), you can see the context (active / selected object) is set correctly and the script runs without any error (Cube2 gets deleted).
But for whatever reason it doesn't work for convert() and more, which looks like a bug.
@ideasman42 suggested to report it in the comment here https://developer.blender.org/rBf438344cf243632e497772cf1f855b9c8856fd37#351220, so I have created the task.

Just informing that it seems to be the case also with transform_apply().

To add my 2 cents, I don't think ops.object.convert not being overridable is tied to the new syntax, devs have confirmed that this particular operator can't be fully overriden.

It was already the case with the old, dictionary syntax. see https://developer.blender.org/T93188
