You can disable hyperthreading to mitigate a lot of Intel vulnerabilities. Qubes, which is a popular OS choice within the coreboot crowd, does this by default.

But not all of them, right? Some of the vulnerabilities do require upstream microcode updates, and without them, I feel like the risk introduced outweighs any benefit provided by Libreboot.
