Oh totally. I'm more sure than not that something like an open source code morphing software could be made more secure against side channel attacks with greater flexibility than is afforded micro code updates.
I'm mainly saying that it's a problem space that both has actively shipping implemetnations (Nvidia Denver), has new levels of cache which affect performance based on previous codeflows, and hasn't been fully explored publicly AFAIK. There's probs some dragons in there in at least the pre spectre versions of that software.
