Do you want to throw out out-of-order-execution and pipelining while you are at it, too?
I'm semi-serious: there are actually modern processor designs that put this burden on the programmer (or rather their fancy compiler / code generator) in order to keep the silicon simple. See eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groq#Language_Processing_Unit
