- How good is emulation support
The lack of real hardware for RISC-V has made it so almost everyone is working with emulation. It's not realistic right now to work with real hardware.
- What would it take to keep up with the other arches? Is that possible?
The real hardware options do not have the performance to keep up with the other architectures.
Is it really so slow that emulation is preferable?
Actually we prefer the real hardware over qemu for the larger builds.
As the other reply said the main concern is the lack of server-class hardware. We could build something with a Pi KVM hat, but that's not a neat integrated solution.
