I don’t think any serious security person would have laughed you off for mentioning side channel attacks.
No isolation is perfect but and that is an important but for virtualization you have much higher control over what instruction you allow through so an attach which is specific to ME isn’t likely.
That said you can have a side channel attack that allows you to compromise the hypervisor and from it you can jump to the ME but this is a different story.
