Yes, but I still think this falls victim to the problem I mentioned: you might have two dozen arithmetic instructions, and two that change privilege state. It is generally the latter that is more interesting to those doing this kind of analysis. (Not saying that the former is completely useless; I am sure emulator developers and similar would find it interesting. But most of the research effort going into finding new instructions or whatever is going towards the not-simple instructions.)
