No they really cannot. Many of the optimizations CPU do on the fly are akin to JIT recompilers. (in microcode and schedule side) These cannot be effectively done ahead of time yet, at least not without an instruction accurate profiling.

Not to mention VLIW wastes CPU instruction cache for instructions that aren't ran.

It is no accident that CPUs and compilers gravitated towards RISC.
