I think so. Note that Thawte still uses the <keygen> tag, so disabling
crypto.generateCRMFRequest through prefs.js could also be considered
sufficient (keygen doesn't provide any escrow mechanism).

In the sense that it's the maximum achievable reliability given the fact
that you're running code provided by someone else (Mozilla Corporation,
in this case). In the end, it's always a question of whom you trust -
but this would probably get us too much off-topic.
