(So Thunderbolt is off, not the security. {:)
If you can reproduce that firmware-sof-signed changes this setting,
then i'd deem it worth a Debian bug report.
Maybe the maintainer says that it's not a bug but a feature.
Nevertheless one should give Debian a chance to investigate whether
the EFI alteration is necessary or appropriate.
Now i am staring at the files in
https://sources.debian.org/src/firmware-sof/2025.05-1/debian/
wondering which of them would access the EFI settings.

If upgrading GRUB disables a potential security setting then this is
worth a bug report, too.
I doubt (but could be wrong) that such a move is intended by GRUB
upstream.

Maybe there are bystanders who are more talented with Debian system
administration and can propose an experiment which does not endanger
your system's bootability.
(Something like apt-get install --reinstall ...)
Have a nice day :)
