There is no "thinks". It is very rare, but it has happened and we have
the bug reports in Ubuntu Debian to prove it.  Chances are it will
happen again someday.

So, some added delay before migrating microcode updates to older LTS
branches is advised.  If any regressions are reported during that added
delay, a case-by-case decision is required on how to best handle it (it
is possible to lock down a specific microcode to an older version, for
example).

Unfortunately, you cannot just "ditch" operating-system-provided
microcode updates and "hope for the best" in the general case.
