Nobody in high-performance does fixed-width instructions that allow lineary scaling parallel decoders. Arm basically requires certain instructions to be cracked into multiple uops before rename. That ends up analougus to decoding compressed instructions. RVC increases complexity before decode, how much that impacts things idk.
