CHERI does more than help eliminate security vulnerabilities. Consider that today we rely on the MMU to provide memory isolation between Unix processes; CHERI enables isolation without switching page tables, at a smaller hardware cost (though it's not like you can drop unmodified software into such an architecture). So I don't think it's correct to consider this yet another layer of complexity. If anything it has the potential to lead to simpler system designs.
