Fiz usando grid-column e grid-row, deu certo também:
@media (min-width: 1440px){
.categorias{
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: calc(50% - 0.75rem) ;
grid-template-rows: auto 1fr auto;
column-gap: 1.5rem;
row-gap: 1rem;
}
.categorias__titulo{
grid-column: 1/3;
grid-row: 1/2;
}
.categorias__lista {
grid-column: 1/2;
grid-row: 2/4;
}
.categorias__destaques{
grid-column: 2/3;
grid-row: 2/3;
}
.categorias__imagem{
grid-column: 2/3;
grid-row: 3/4;
}
}
