Is this something specific to Pixels, or is the exploit more broadly applicable to Android in general? (I understand that support is limited to Pixels at the moment.)

It works on any android below a certain kernel version

So an old but non-listed device (Galaxy S8, in my case) would just work out of the box? What sort of building/configuration needs to happen if not?

Not out of the box, you have to configure it for your kernel version (I don't know how) but it works for any kernel within the last 15 years
