I have an open source fetish for RISC-V, but to be honest, the LX6 and LX7 toolchains are perfectly fine in terms of functionality for what most people need a low-cost chip to do. ESP-IDF and FreeRTOS are pretty mature at this point. Really cool things could happen with RISC-V. But when I need a chip to read/write some GPIO pins, drive a display, and do some networking, it doesn't really matter.
