RCV is unconstitutional on equal protection grounds. It doesn't let voters who sat out the general election change their minds and vote in the run-off.

Only the voters for the least popular candidate get a second vote.

It is certainly not an “instant runoff.”

My casual observations have shown me that recounts in standard elections rarely show a different candidate winning (but yes, occasionally they do), but almost never are the vote totals exactly the same the second time around.

Not so with RCV.
