AFAIK Apollos (before they were bought by HP) used ISA with most of their
M68K machines. I think they also used ISA with their risc DN10K boxen.

As far as open architecture, ISA was very well
documented and noone
needed to pay IBM to use the buss. MCA was a different story. The PC
wasn't an open architecture, but the effects were something of the
same. Heck there are ISA slots on Amigas, Ataris, etc.....
My MIPScomputer M/120 has ISA slots. Being big endian, it has to do some
fun things with byte and word swapping different parts of the IO space.
