The link you posted is talking about the security implications of hibernate when also using lockdown (a kernel security feature). It has nothing to do with getting hibernate to work in general.

I imagine that kernel lockdown is the main reason why hibernate doesn't work out of the box for most people ATM.

Are you sure? Which distros ship with Linux lockdown by default? I was under the impression it was a niche security feature.

Ubuntu, for one.

Most common distributions turn it on when running on a device with UEFI Secure Boot enabled.
