SIDR is intended to provide route-origination validation - it isn't intended to be nor can it possibly be a remedy for vendor-specific implementation problems.

Validation storm-control is something which must be accounted for in SIDR/DANE architecture, implementation, and deployment.  But at the end of the day, vendors are still responsible for their own code.
