Everything RISC-V is good. But we should go always for 64bits even if we "waste" some "logic material", because RISC-V as a worldwide/licence free standard is a very good ground for an assembly realm: write 64bits RISC-V once and run it on embeded/desktop/server/etc. Just need clean tables of functions for platform mobility which can be added slowly step by step.

The main pitfall while doing that, is abusing the preprocessor, because writting "c++" using a preprocessor assembly is hardly less worse than coding c++ then creating a absurdely massive and complex SDK dependency.
