Oh for sure, but before the days of super-scalars I don't think the people pushing RISC would have agreed with you. Non-fixed instruction width is prototypically CISC.
If you can simplify the instruction decoding that's always a benefit - moreso the more cores you have.
You'll get no disagreement from me on that. Maybe you misunderstood what I meant by "CISC-V would be just as exciting"? I meant that if there was a popular, well designed, open source CISC architecture that was looking to be the eventual future of computing instead of RISC-V then that would be just as exciting as RISC-V is now.
