No, for GPUs it would be stupid to go VLIW only, SIMD is a much better approach and VLIW-SIMD is even better. The last one is actually the approach taken by some of the newer GPU-esque architectures like movidius (although I take serious issue to almost everything else about their architecture).
By the ways, the NOP padding argument never convinced me because you can just use variable length instructions, and even current x86 decoders are variable length.
