I built a working computer in Minecraft, and ended up going with exactly that because the decoding circuits would have been too complex for the project otherwise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9XT-dyfEiU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9XT-dyfEiU This build could be improved in a lot of ways as I've grown as a developer and engineer in the years since I built it, but back then, "Jam the opcode bits into the ALU" was the simplest thing I could think of at the time, and worked quite well. If I ever tackle something like this again (a year's worth of Redstone is... I'm not sure I have the patience for that anymore) I'd like to try an 8-bit system just for the challenge of packing the opcodes down a bit. The 16-bit opcodes I used here were rather inefficient.
