Potentially... any identity flows performed in iframes that rely on 
setting/reading cookies with samesite=none attribute will stop working. 
This might affect logout more than login depending on how each is 
implemented. This could also affect full page redirect flows with the 
form_post response type if the browsers stop supporting the "temporary 
solution" they provided for cookies less than 2mins old. It's unclear at 
this time as very little is described in that blog post about exactly 
what the browser will do :)

Note that FireFox recently also enabled a model that creates separate 
cookie jars per eTLD+1. They are trying to not break identity flows that 
cross domains but it's unclear how well the heuristics work for 
identifying identity flows. The key heuristic they call out is using a 
pop-up browser window which I don't see a lot of these days.

I'd highly recommend setting up end-to-end testing that you can push 
through any browser or nightly build. Determining exactly what will (or 
won't) work from published blogs is difficult :)
