I haven't seen examples of NIOSII being used in a MAX V. The NIOSII performance documents list the smallest nios using 264 to 786 LEs depending on the FPGA family. There are no listings for MAX V or MAX 10 devices. Based on the size of the MAX V SM750, you probably can't fit one and have any room left over. Might as well use a microcontroller in that case. I have seen youtube videos that use NIOS in MAX 10 devices, so they must be big enough.
