All RISC ISAs are basically the same thing as far as compiler optimisation is concerned, and there is 40 years of work into that already.

I can't see any reason why the father of Zen and the designer of the M1 can't make a core for the simpler RISC-V ISA with basically the same (or better) µarch than the M1.
