Notes -
You haven't understood the new method at all.
Denuvo is alive and well.
The method for bypassing it is dangerous and impractical. Basically a rootkit. You need a fully walled off system/drive/os.
Some people dedicated or desperate enough will use it, but it's not the end of Denuvo at all.
Voices38 published old fashioned cracks - aka the pure unecrypted binary stripped of checks which is the interesting thing here.
Second - "secure" boot since forever has been about MS and corporate clients control over the os and rarely if ever had brought the end user benefits. Never bothered to run it, never had issues. Also loading unsecure vxd on ring 0 is time honored tradition since at least windows 2000. And I trust the authors of denuvo bypasses way more than the vendors of anti cheat software.
The only way it meaningfully hurts security is if someone finds 0day in the driver itself and then leverages something from userland, but if you think you may be subject to such attacks - you have no job looking at warez (or using windows). And if you are safetist - anyway in theory the bypass should work in theory in gpu pass troughed windows anyway.
