We already have popular benchmarks like Geekbench that include real world workloads borrowed from popular open source software.

For instance, Geekbench includes (among others) a subtest that compiles an open source Lua interpreter using Clang, and another that uses Google's PDFium to render PDF files.

Those tests haven't been analyzed to break down the contribution of P vs E cores, how much of it comes from frequency and how much from IPC, power consumption and throttling performance, etc.
