Oh I'm not (seriously) arguing that it's not useful nor a good idea... So is the feeling today that RISC in general was just an overreaction to some poor design choices? Or that RISC is a good idea with a few tactical exceptions allowed? (If you have an opinion)

A bit of both, I'd guess? I mean back then there were architectures proliferating instructions like there's no tomorrow, without clear needs. But since then the separation between the decoded instructions and the internal representation also has become a lot stronger.
