I think it would be well enough for Nethack. Would be interesting if even a Z80 could run Nethack in a CPU emulator.

You could easily write a RISC-V CPU emulator for your older/smaller machines, and run the original Nethack code compiled to RISC-V.

By your logic, it's wrong to spend many billions per year on traffic safety. It should go into bear safety instead. "Average deaths per TWh produced" is a good yardstick to me.
