Subject seems to have changed a bit, so not hijacking it. When thinking of any exploitation of firmware - should there be concerns of Intel's Management Engine in the CPU of any relays running on "home hardware" in any common unused pc or laptop? Should that be a concern on ANY newer Intel hardware?

What do you think about Intel AMT, it's a part of the most modern PCs?

if some flaw was exploited in the various nasty proprietary bits that make up the Pi, much of the network might be compromised - due to large similarities across the different models, this would affect considerable numbers of devices.

Yes, there proprietary parts in the firmware, but also this firmware is free and open source. And there are a lot of people who keep care on it.
It's especially very easy to rewrite the boot partition.
