It is difficult to say whether a M3000 would also fail to install a standard patchset.
I have patched a number of different hardware models with the latest patchsets without any problems except for the T2000. I also know of others, like yourself, who have hit the same problem.
Although I have not read every last detail about the latest patchset, Oracle do not seem to issue any specific warning about the T2000 falling over. However, without the latest OBP, it seems that is does.
Sadly, I have no experience with the M3000 model.
I would guess (and it is a guess) that you would not have any similar issue with a M3000, but absolutely no guarantees given. It depends on how much inconvenience it will cause you to recover a similar failure to patch as to whether you bring the OBP, etc up to date first.
Hope that helps.

This may be a stupid question, but I don't want to take any chances.
I have a Sun T2000 in production. I want to run the "resetsc" command on the ALOM controller to active an IP address change. Will resetting ALOM affect the running OS?

clprivnet(7) Sun Cluster Device and Network Interfaces clprivnet(7)
NAME
clprivnet - SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver
SYNOPSIS
/dev/clprivnet
DESCRIPTION
Note -
Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor-
mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.
The SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver is a STREAMS pseudo driver supporting Sun Cluster resident applications that use
standard Solaris interfaces to communicate over the Sun Cluster private network. By striping data traffic over all links, this driver opti-
mally utilizes the bandwidth of the private network while supporting highly available, software fault-tolerant communication.
APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The driver is supported by the character-special device /dev/clprivnet, but is reserved for Sun Cluster internal operation and the standard
Solaris network utilities. This interface must not be directly used for general application communication.
ADMINISTRATION
The administration and configuration of the driver as a network interface is done completely by the Sun Cluster infrastructure internals.
