Consumer grade cpus within few years possibly?

Almost certainly. Current hardware is still for ultranerds ready to recompile everything from source each time Youtube updates. The very near future will see cheapo consumer hardware featuring all the fixes those people figured out. Applications will creep upward after that - like any disruptive technology.

But it's already real enough that the latest Raspberry Pi has two RISC-V cores, just because it can.

You can buy a (claimed, might just be ARM) RISC-V laptop on aliexpress today, not sure how well they work but they are there.
