If ARM continues to supplant x86, and an open ISA like RISCV starts to nip at ARM's heels...

You're going to be hard pressed to find a moderately complex SoC without something like that. At a bare minimum, reset and power state sequencing is complex enough to offload to a microcontroller style core these days. The iMX6 is the biggest, most reent SoC I an think of without that.
