Yes and no. Regardless of what early RISCs lacked relative to the 6502 (and other contemporaries), they were generally much fast overall, operated on wider words (32 v 8 bit) and had access to vastly larger memories. So there were often analogous workarounds, but different in details. For example, replacing calculating sine with a lookup table is much easier and more accurate when you can toss it someplace in your 16MB or whatever of memory rather than try and shoehorn it into 64k.
