I doubt open source designs are going to be competitive with closed source. Also, design is just part of the problem. There is a whole lot of other things you need to get a chip out. I do not think RISC-V chips will be cheaper than other architecture when you take everything into account.

Personally I would not replace it with meat substitutes even though I understand why they exists. We can look at mediterranean and indian vegetarian diets for lot of inspiration on eating healthy vegetarian food.
