It would have some advantages and disadvantages, but for any well skilled redstoner i don't think it would make much of a difference, it would bealbe to be smaller as you can just use shift registers modified to have a read mech at least on devices that will only make one register write per clock.
also this could easily be made to give a quicker clockspeed on single staged PEs as there's no delay selecting which register to write to, but this can be overcome by a simple forwarding system anyhow.
The mill architecture has lots of advantages and is well worth looking up, it's very educational and gives you a good insight on the shortfalls of more conventional designs, definitely worth while learning about.
