The problem is that it's not sustainable - QEMU improved so much since the moment of fork and updating the QEMU code in Unicorn is always done manually. It is especially important for architectures that evolve quickly - ARM64, RISC-V, x86. Meanwhile, QEMU now has the notion of TCG plugins[1] that can read/write registers and memory, which is enough for most cases. You can see many examples of the plugins in contrib/plugins[2] directory of the mainline QEMU - a good starting point.
