Please explain reasons and necessity of this for others, if you know.

There is an open issue for this [1], and numerous topics / HCL reports that indicate necessity of this flag on new Ryzen CPUs like [2] and [3].

I did not even try without it on Qubes 4.1 because on the same laptop it was required for Qubes 4.2 rc1 to complete installation [4].
