Access/privileges to execute on the host is required. I, personally, would not feel concerned unless I was a TPM user and knew I was a specific target.

you also need to connect (cheap) hardware to your motherboard

this makes it very very unlikely to be usable in a virus or remote attack

but if you lose your arm laptop and didn't use a encryption password you might want to consider your data leaked

also I would treat Intel cpus the same, Intel having a similar vulnerability is not unlikely
