I think we will eventually see a return to company 'data centers' away from IaaS plays.

That said, its a pretty amazing time if you're a computer architect since you now have the transistors to spend on pretty much any crazy scheme you can dream up. So perhaps we'll see 'code safe' computer architectures emerge.

I don’t see why. Cloud providers have been offering dedicated hardware for a long time. If this problem isn‘t reliably fixable then more customers will make use of these options.
