Is this fixing an issue currently in the wild? Want to gauge whether this needs to land in a 31.1.x release or if it can wait until a future major/minor release.

It's not exclusive to 31.1 (earlier version have the issue) and will require to backport changes to CEF 127 to have NO_STACK_PROTECTOR defined and enable the decoration.

So in my opinion it can wait until a future major/minor release.

The main issue is noise for distros that have coredumps/reporting (like Fedora). Other than that it seems to be harmless since the crashes only happen on process exit.

For the fedora RPMs I will push this patch in so it's fixed there, since otherwise users will get abrt popups and file bugs with us (I already got one). I can't say about the effect for other distros or through the official Flatpak. If this has been going on for a while and nobody has complained about it yet, maybe it's fine to wait?
