Yes Puri.sm has been debunked.
I disagree. I've seen the systems. From what I can see, Puri.sm has made a good faith effort to go as far possible *with modern x86 chipsets* toward getting rid of the blobs. They can't get to 100%, but they're trying to get as close as possible.
I've spoken with the puri.sm team about their coreboot plans and, beyond just my delight that they are working on using the Heads bootloader, I'm really pleased that they've committed to adding hardware features like a discrete TPM, supporting coreboot, testing with the ME cleaner scripts, and really significantly, ensuring that Bootguard can be implemented in a way that preserves user freedom while also protecting against many classes of physical attacks on the system.
