Oh, I believe that. I'm just wondering how useful that architecture is and how *old* it is. We're talking, what, a 4004? That probably fits your definitions (Harvard architecture with no indirect).
I'm not sure about the 4004 :-), but small embedded CPUs are still very common. Most embedded microcontrollers are harvard architecture, although not-having indirect jumps is probably rare. C still ends up being quite awkward on most of these chips. Most modern processors have indeed fit themselves for C type languages.
