Of course, but we're talking about a single core CPU clocked at 300Mhz (and a cache small enough to be classed as a micro organism :p).
If a CPU that old/shit can pull off something like Kessen 2 and 3, then there's nothing particularly surprising about 3 cores clocked at 1.24GHz being able to pull off what we see in HW. It could probably pull off a fair amount more (or at least run HW more stably) with more work.
It's true that the phrase "just three Wii CPUs taped together" is rather misleading (though not entirely untrue, as least in respect to the cores themselves), but HW doesn't demonstrate anything we wouldn't expect from our current estimations of the WiiU's CPU.

I can't really think of a better benchmark to date though; the only other games on Wii U that have much going on CPU-wise are ports from systems with fundamentally different CPUs.

I can agree with you on that at least. I just don't think HW is demonstrating anything that we wouldn't expect from its CPU.
It could be used as proof that the WiiU's CPU isn't literally 3 Wii CPU's though, assuming there are people that honestly believe that. HW running on 3x1.24GHz makes sense, but it certainly wouldn't run on 3x700Mhz with a much smaller cache.
