From the Intel section ( https://libreboot.org/faq/#intelme https://libreboot.org/faq/#intelme ) > If the manifest isn't signed by a specific Intel key, the boot ROM won't load and execute the firmware and the ME processor core will be halted.

Are there side effects? Why is this not a solution? Also: is there more (probably community reverse-engineered) documentation on the ME's specifics?
