No, RSTS/E was ok for its time, but is inferior to what VMS later offered.

What would have been more interesting however is if someone had made
a portable version of RSX from scratch (written in a high level language
using RSX-like APIs and UI but without any of the DEC code) that would
have run on modern embedded hardware.

That could have found a home in today's small embedded systems.
