warp is expensive - essentially it's running a 'don't run code' to maintain SIMT.

GPUs are still not practically-Turing-complete in the sense that there are strict restrictions on loops/goto/IO/waiting (there are a bunch of band-aids to make it pretend it's not a functional programming model).

So I am not sure retrofitting a Ferrari to cosplay an Amazon delivery van is useful other than for tech showcase?

Good tech showcase though :)
