Well, it is risky, it is actively discouraged, and regular users are
NEVER expected to come anywhere close to late loading.

The target audience of late loading is, as far as I know, gigantic cloud
provider senior engineers with proper NDAs signed with Intel and access
to relevant support channels and non-public information.

I am not adding this change to Debian, FWIW.
