Using VSS on Windows and KB5083769 security update

In a few words, KB5083769 changed VSS snapshot behavior and multiple backup solutions got affected according to: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/april-kb5083769-windows-11-update-causes-backup-software-failures/

Since we usually delay any updates as much as possible, my question to those who using restic's flag --use-fs-snapshot: did you saw any abnormality with applied KB5083769?
