Is there any merit to non-x86 CISC architectures?

There is no merit to computers

If you are too flexible for ASICs but too specialized for ARM and alternatives, I'd say so.

when I read about CISC's It feels like most of them either were inspired by intel8080 or were aping it directly.

x86 was a mistake.

He must not have died even once to get the best ending.
The momentum of the IBM behemoth made it a fight that was futile for non-x86 to begin with. IBM chose Intel as their chip provider and based their PC's architecture on the 8086 (they could have picked Motorola's 68000 instead but didn't).

2 ARMs on one silicon is the future

An argument I've heard is that cisc acts like a layer of abstraction that allows the underlying risc instruction set to be modified without having to change the compilers.

This is equivalent to running your software in a virtual machine, just on a more close to the metal level.
