For example, real-time guarantees (hard time constraints on how long a particular type of event will take to process) would be easier to provide.

But why do we think that? The complexity would almost certainly still exist. Would just now be up a layer. With no guarantees that you could hit the same performance characteristics that we are able to hit today.
Put another way, if that would truly be a better place, what is stopping people from building it today?
