If I was still using windows I would totally block everything and run a wsus server in a VM that has a vlan and firewall config.

The issue is you can only control your firewall at home. Whenever you are out you are pretty sure that MS and Apple bypass any rule you'd put on the local firewall.

I prefer running sane operating systems.

Pretty sure your sane OS makes calls to CRL/OCSP lists to validate cert revocation. Many of the calls in that list do just that.
