Would this mean any TPM based decryption keys could potentially be compromised in this kind of attack? E.g. when they're used for LUKS disk encryption.


Yup, if there's no passphrase involved.

Even if there is a passphrase, this would likely allow for brute-forcing it.

No, you'll still have the TPM's dictionary attack lockout.
