Just the thoughts of a vaguely interested bystander with no technical
knowledge.

I can understand the usefulness of being able to emulate the RPC for
compatibility with old software but with Rapis so cheap I can see little
point of trying to model it. I, for example, recently purchased an
over-clocked Pi in a nice case with RO5 and a software bundle included,
for under 100 quid.

Incidentally, I find Iris, despite only being Beta, works quite well.
