Based on how I 'interpreted' that tweet, it was specific regarding the SQL patch. In my case, the one I would care about is SQL 16 SP1, the CU7 (Cumulative Update 7). ConfigMgr requires "CLR" to be enabled in order to function. Additionally, the majority of environments except for a super small ones where they might only have ONE server with all roles--almost everyone has at least a MP, DP, or SUP role server elsewhere. Depending on the configuration of those other servers, they likely leverage a SQL 'thing' called Linked Servers. CU7 also modifies Linked server configuration.
So just wait on deploying CU7 until further information is available. If you haven't yet gone to SQL 16 SP1 CU6, my understanding is that version is supported/acceptable to SCCM--but it obviously doesn't address the Spectre/Meltdown stuff.
