IMHO, ARM performance is "good enough" for consumption and light editing/creation.

The real test for this is software.

Anyone remember this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FX!32

Exactly...

No, but I do remember this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_68k_emulator and this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software)

We've come a long way... Software vendors compiling for multiple targets doesn't seem so crazy anymore. We've got toolchains that are good at that, and we don't distribute software by floppy or cd anymore. Emulation seems like the wrong way to go.
