The only thing that might change that analysis is if MIPS has some architecture patents that they could leverage to get some kind of RISC-V performance advantage. But I doubt they have anything like that now. And it's not like they have a stable of CPU designers that are now going to be switched from working on MIPS to working on RISC-V - they likely haven't had any of those folks working there since the 90s.
