I presume that this means that E2 instances won't have access to local scratch NVMe, since making use of local scratch NVMe disks currently prevents any feature that requires a live migration, like auto-migration on host maintenance, or modifying the VM's specs while stopped (as you can't stop VMs with local storage, only terminate them permanently.)

You can still get migrated with a local ssd:

"Compute Engine can also live migrate instances with local SSDs attached, moving the VMs along with their local SSD to a new machine in advance of any planned maintenance." [1]
