Sure.  It's a first in the secure boot world and has the potential to
break a bunch of stuff.  Specifically I think with the boot signature
chain changing some TPM PCR measurements will change too, so TPM being
is used for LUKS disk encryption most likely is affected and will need
some extra attention.

But it shouldn't be the "broken bios update might brick the machine"
level of risk.

take care,
