ARMv8 is a well designed architecture that I don't think is "RISC" because eg it has some complex addressing modes, SIMD, and other good ideas.
It is more RISC than ARMv7 was. And I think if it was targeting smaller CPUs with less wide decoders, being more x86-like ("CISC") and having variable length instructions would be better.
