The C standard has just one normative paragraph that discusses
multidimensional arrays.  That paragraph is provided for clarity, but
could be removed without changing the language.

Multidimensional arrays require no work by the compiler that's not
already required for any other array type, particularly if you disallow
VLAs.  Every indexing operation requires multiplying the the index by
the size of the element type.

As Ben suggests, if you add a special case rule to disallow arrays of
arrays, programmers will simply wrap arrays in structures, achieving the
same generated code with more obfuscated source code.

Removing multidimensional arrays from a C-like language would require
adding an arbitrary restriction, not removing a feature.

There are probably some optimizations a compiler could perform for
multidimensional array indexing -- but if you want to simplify the
compiler, just don't do those optimizations.

No, arrays are not pointers.  As I'm sure you know, an expression of
array type is "converted" to a pointer to its initial element in most
but not all contexts; the exceptions are sizeof, unary "&", and a string
literal used to initialize an array object.  There are also special
rules about parameters that appear to be of array type.  Aside from
those rules, array types and pointer types are as distinct as, say,
structs and integers.
