How would the clock work for that? wouldn't want part of the "die" to fall out of sync because someone stopped to grab a meal or fight an crazed boomrat.

That just sounds like somewhere you'd want clockless design. The brute force way to do it is to replace the clock with a "ready" signal from each subcomponent, so the next in the chain only does its thing when it knows all the inbound signals are good.
