I think the transition to plant based and artificially grown food sources will take some time and just labelling on the level of processing doesn’t seem very informative.
Just because some food is organic, doesn’t mean it’s healthy, sufficient and sustainable to grow and eat. These “NOVA” labels feel like a response from meat/farmer organisations to try and keep the status quo for a while longer.
Of course plant based food requires processing because we want snacks to come looking as cheese, yoghurt, ham and steaks - it takes some doing to make soya beans look and taste the same way. So maybe there are degrees of processing (within plant based foods) that also create a range of what’s ok to eat and what’s been prepared in a way that’s unhealthy or unsustainable.
