I was now able to get hold of a cascade lake chip (there are many types) that was formerly already correctly recognized and working. In this case I can confirm that the change didn't have any negative impact.
It was before&after: <mode name='host-model' supported='yes'> <model fallback='forbid'>Cascadelake-Server</model> <vendor>Intel</vendor> <feature policy='require' name='ss'/> <feature policy='require' name='vmx'/> <feature policy='require' name='hypervisor'/> <feature policy='require' name='tsc_adjust'/> <feature policy='require' name='pku'/> <feature policy='require' name='md-clear'/> <feature policy='require' name='stibp'/> <feature policy='require' name='arch-capabilities'/> <feature policy='require' name='xsaves'/> <feature policy='require' name='invtsc'/> <feature policy='require' name='rdctl-no'/> <feature policy='require' name='ibrs-all'/> <feature policy='require' name='skip-l1dfl-vmentry'/> <feature policy='require' name='mds-no'/> <feature policy='require' name='pschange-mc-no'/> <feature policy='disable' name='hle'/> <feature policy='disable' name='rtm'/> </mode>
And also the usability of that chip didn't change and stayed <model usable='yes'>Cascadelake-Server-noTSX</model>
So far so good, waiting for the upload to be accepted into Hirsute as zero day SRU - but stalled by the release.
