Interesting, but is the required combination of EML gates less complex than using other primitives?

Depends on how you define complexity?

Like when the Apollo guidance computer was made, the bottleneck was making integrated chips so they only made one, the NOR gate, and a whackton of routing to build out an entire CPU. Horribly complex routing, very simplified integrated circuit construction

In general, no.
