Does anyone see value in running the Linux kernel on a RISC-V processor without an MMU?

Versus what? Running nommu Linux on a different uc? Running some other OS, or no OS, on nommu RISC-V?

I think a counter argument is that any design hoping to run Linux should invest the die area in an mmu

I don't see the argument for nommu Linux these days

Is your claim that "big" nommu processors/socs shouldn't exist at all? Or that you should run them bare-metal?

I don't understand the market well enough to make such a bold claim but yes I would question a large SoC without MMU

One model I've seen in real-world is specialized nommu soc running full time, isolated behind another board/cpu.
