For Ultrascale+ this may still make sense, as the space savings in embedded applications may be significant. However, I've never seen Versal to fit in that space? In my mind, Versal is useful for larger, power-hungry beasts. Once you're there, you may as well make use of the flexibility of moving all of the RF off chip and therefore being able to more carefully select devices with the required parameters.
Does it make sense in anything with higher sales volumes, or would it always make sense to make dedicated silicon with hardware offload for one specific protocol?

Whoa, that feels wildly far off.

5G/6G base stations?
