Yeah, code-morphing/hardware JIT is extra weird (and probably why Nvidia's Project Denver kinda tanked—turns out, that doesn't work too great for smartphone apps). One thing I've thought about is having a code-morphing CPU as a sort of accelerator that a single process could be offloaded to (of course, this would require an OS that can marshal processes). Think a database server, a JVM, NodeJS—long-running processes that would benefit from JIT. Might even be viable with upcoming cache-coherent interconnects like CCIX and GenZ. A more ambitious implementation could offload groups of functions.
