With SEV-SNP (amd) or TDX (intel) cpu extensions you can avoid that.
You get launch measurement:  Basically the cpu calculates a hash of the
initial VM state and this can be verified later to make sure the system
actually runs the firmware you want it run.  The host also is not
allowed to modify (or even see) guest state.

take care,
