I don't think this is a wakeup call to anyone tbh. Servers are constantly getting seized by government authorities. Anyone who is worried about this already knows the risks and have likely vetted their instance.

Yeah at the end of the day the fact the Fediverse is decentralised doesn't grant some magic immunity to local laws. I'm surprised there are people who think this?
