I think it is succeeding in its goals. From what I hear, it's
already shipping in the billions of units per year, in a similar
league to ARM.

As an open-source project, it doesn't seem to have "goals" in quite the
same way as a project controlled by a single organisation, or a small
group of them.

It's competing effectively with ARM in the embedded world. For mobile,
desktop and datacentre, things have not progressed that far. When SiFive
abandoned development of high-powered general-purpose CPUs, the push into
those spaces faltered. I'm sorry about that: I was looking forward to
having another architecture to learn and support.
