I was looking for the x86-specific rant, and did not find it. You'd think that team would have had something to say about architecture complexity.

Nvidia’s GPU root of trust, where they are using SPARK, is based on RISC-V, they have a talk about that choice, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43045952
The other funny thing I noticed is the formal verification just means the program implements the standard - it doesn't mean the standard doesn't have security holes! And sometimes the security holes are implementation-specific, like timing attacks, which can require weird low-level tricks to solve.
