But why? If it does no harm, then fine. If it does (which is seldomly the case), just disable it again. Also, the plugin is not "constantly looking for" anything - it only gets updated alongside an OpnSense upgrade iff there is a new upgrade available from the CPU manufacturer.
The package is just a stand-in for a microcode update from the BIOS, especially when that is unavailable. This is often the case with badly supported china boxes, as well as older brand equipment. So having it, is a plus, IMHO, and I do not understand the constant fuss about it.
