I'm not a field expert; I didn't design Satellogic's satellites.
Satellogic's CubeBug design did use a TI Hercules TMS570 Cortex-R, and I think it's safe to say our experiences with chips like that were good — for the relatively restricted tasks they can perform. The automotive industry has a lot of lockstep chips available for it, because it's a mass market that demands reliability under harsh conditions.
I'd like to point out that what you're describing is pretty similar to Satellogic's original business plan.
