You could make that argument about all of the suggestions.

1. Adding an extra vic 2 would be a nightmare. The cpu's clock comes is
generated by vic2 from the dot clock and now you have two vic2's. They
don't have a reset input, so the clocks will be all out of phase.

2. Digital sound doesn't need a clock as high as the dot clock, the ø 0
clock would be good enough and you would need to synchronise to that anyway.

3. The math coprocessor one is a bit vague, you could hang a raspberry
pi zero off the back of a c64 but I'm not sure why you'd use the dot clock.
