You do lose some functionality with host based provisioning. Mainly your forced with requiring user consent which would limit you on the use cases you could implement. With my previous employer I did a lot of vPro implementations and we were looking into this as a workaround for some of the new Ultrabooks coming out that don't have built in NICs, but I left before we had the solution.
Also you can use Intel SCS to provision devices so you technically don't need a PKI just one deluxe cert from a supported 3rd party vendor. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/software/setup-configuration-software .html They also have a PowerShell module so you could get pretty creative with use cases.

It would seem, according to Intel's information, that you could do the "Host" based provisioning and use SCCM to deploy the provisioning EXE along with the XML file. Or am I missing something here?
