Only if supplied over the old interface. Over the new interface, we just see
microcode: error! Bad data in microcode data file
in the log. So clearly the driver doesn't know how to split up the microcode.bin that Intel provides, and (until Henrique's iucode-tool or something like it becomes ubiquitous) the old interface, and microcode_ctl, cannot be removed.
