I think it could be beneficial in terms of hackability and maintenance
to have instructions defined as slightly abstracted s-exps. Now, if
it’s only used to generate vm-engine.c & co., it’s probably too much
work for what it’s worth.

Yeah, especially since it could easily be used at run-time too.
Thanks,
