So the price is high, but I'd actually consider getting one if only they'd exposed PCI ports and put it in, say, a MicroATX form factor or the like.

Maybe someone will make a daughterboard to make that happen for a reasonable price. Then I'd maybe have fun making a little machine to run it. I really like the idea of RISC-V.

Anybody have any idea how many MIPS we're talking here?

The FMC adapter item on the specs is an standardised interface adapter. Looking at the instructions for some of the previous dev kits points to an FMC PCIe module that seems like the right kind of thing:

Obviously you'd want to check a bit more carefully. I'mjust pointing out that PCIe seems like it's a go-er with the hardware right now even. :)
