Well, if you want to be pedantic, there's already non-C code in the kernel, it just doesn't make it into the runtime. I've seen Linus's opinion on C++ in the kernel, but I've never seen anyone explicitly state that no other languages would be accepted. I'm sure that it's something that's always possible even if very unlikely right now.
Blanketing every architecture LLVM doesn't support that GCC does an "obscure hobby architecture" is not really a great way to look at things imo. I haven't looked into it but I'm pretty sure outside the bubble of desktop computers there are plenty of important uses of Linux on less common architectures, I would assume mostly embedded systems.
