The thing about Meltdown/Spectre is that they're really only problems if you rely on sandboxing to run untrusted code.

I'm not convinced that sandboxing is only useful for untrusted code. Sometimes my trusted code has bugs (e.g. I would like to be able to look at random images or documents or expose my webapp to the world), and I would really like for it to not be able to be tricked into doing something it shouldn't. I would also like to be able to compute in shared environments.
