One thing, is that you would probably have to use edge interposers, as the size of a full interposer would probably be too big.
Then again, as per the diagrams, it would be possible to do it on an organic substrate.
Not sure what the interconnect speed impact would be, even if a little (compared to an interposer.).
edit : one thing I just thought of is that interposers allow very larges buses, ie 1024-4096bit wide, usually HBM, and organic substrate would allow a lot less ? like the 512bit bus of DDR type cards ?

again, Infinity Fabric is the best interposer in existence for manufacturing.
Intel isn't pursuing edge interposers like they are running after Infinity Fabric IP. their single biggest research cpu wise ATM is how to duplicate Infinity Fabric without stepping on AMD patents (esp. given past history).
and guess what...there's an "Infinity Fabric 2" being worked on as we speak...though it's more like Infinity Fabric+
