As far as risk goes, the risk is very small and my personal opinion is that hardware is not worth replacing unless you are worried about being the target of a state-level actor who will spend the resources to gain clandestine physical access to your machine in order to surveil you.
ME attacks require a level of sophistication that is only worth it to a small number of entities pursuing extremely important targets.
Dell, System76, and Librem all sell at least some systems with ME disabled and those are just the ones I can think of without trying.
