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?

HME(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual HME(4)
NAME
hme -- Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Ethernet interfaces device driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device miibus
device hme
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_hme_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The hme driver supports Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ ``Happy Meal Ethernet'' Fast Ethernet interfaces.
All controllers supported by the hme driver have TCP checksum offload capability for both receive and transmit, support for the reception and
transmission of extended frames for vlan(4) and a 128-bit multicast hash filter.
HARDWARE
The hme driver supports the on-board Ethernet interfaces of many Sun UltraSPARC workstation and server models.
Cards supported by the hme driver include:
o Sun PCI SunSwift Adapter (``SUNW,hme'')
o Sun SBus SunSwift Adapter (``hme'' and ``SUNW,hme'')
o Sun PCI Sun100BaseT Adapter 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
o Sun SBus Sun100BaseT 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
o Sun PCI Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'')
o Sun SBus Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'')
NOTES
On sparc64 the hme driver respects the local-mac-address? system configuration variable which can be set in the Open Firmware boot monitor
using the setenv command or by eeprom(8). If set to ``false'' (the default), the hme driver will use the system's default MAC address for
all of its devices. If set to ``true'', the unique MAC address of each interface is used if present rather than the system's default MAC
address.
Supported interfaces having their own MAC address include on-board versions on boards equipped with more than one Ethernet interface and all
add-on cards except the single-port SBus versions.
