No there's also a segfault #878674 which is not blocking right now,
but might become again severe.
Also #859297 the openssl 1.1 "migration" (a bad name since it requires
heavy changes to nodejs core). On that front, hopefully nodejs 8 will fix
it.
So the goal is more or less upload nodejs 8 asap instead of coping with a
sinking ship.
