I skimmed all this and I'm still a bit confused.
Will there be one Koji instance compiling for every (current primary +
current secondary) arch? Or will there be two instances, one for all
primary and one for all secondary?
There will be a single instance of koji for all architectures.
Will a build failure on (say) aarch64 prevent my package from
progressing to Rawhide (x86_64), bodhi etc?
Yes. a failure on one arch, just like in primary now for
x86_64/i686/armv7hl, this won't change.
On the subject of alternate architectures, I'm making available
Fedora
images available in virt-builder for aarch64, armv7l, ppc64 and
ppc64le. There is a complete set for Fedora 23, and a partial set for
Fedora 24 (booting problems on ppc64 - will be solved eventually).
I'm not sure what the question is here.
You can run these up on x86_64 hosts quite easily. For an example
of
how see:

(The virt-install method is now the recommended one. Don't run qemu
directly.)
Yes, we use virt-install for deployment of VMs already across
aarch64/ppc64/ppc64le.
On the subject of RISC-V, I'm still plugging away at this.
It's
rather slow going, but you can take a look at:

There is nothing much usable at the moment, and many stumbling blocks.
Yes, but this is an "experimental arch" and is completely out of scope
of this proposal.
