Yes, it is possible to create a RandomX ASIC, but by the time you have optimised for every possible RandomX function, you have built an entire CPU. Probably an inferior one, at vast expense. But it will run DOOM, so not a total loss.
That one "RandomX ASIC" commercially available turned out to be a bunch of RISC-V CPUs taped together in parallel lol
