I don't doubt RISC-V can be used to make powerful cores but adoption as a general purpose CPU (rather than MCU) will need more than good numbers. There's still a missing piece in the RISC-V ecosystem: a coordination body of platform-level standards. Debian took a stand with RVA23 support but then there's a ton of little things that are taken for granted on the PC platform such as UEFI and ACPI (as horrible as they may be).

risc-v is basically borrowing the ARM SystemReady stuff. This includes the expectations for ACPI and UEFI on servers. The RISE organization has been trying to drive these standards iiuc.
