Is it cheaper / faster to emulate RISC-V in ARM? I know that would be defeating the purpose of having open hardware, but it might be a useful stopgap measure (until hardware catches up) if it lets us instantly create a economically viable market of devices that run RISC-V software.

Wrong way round: there's tons of already compiled ARM software, so you'd want a Rosetta-style system for running it on RISC-V.
