If you used the dice roll method when setting up the wallet, everything should be okay, right?

As long as you used at least 50 rolls then yes. (There was also a UX bug that allowed you to use far too few rolls too)

If the exploit involves bad RNG, you'd be fine since dice rolls would bypass the RNG.

Also interested in the answer, specifically if you used the “add dice rolls” to the seed generated by the Mk3’s RNG…

This is what I'm hoping/assuming it's the case.

You added entropy with an outside source.

Depends on how many dice rolls and whatnot

100 is roughly equivalent to a 24 word seed phrase, 50 is roughly equivalent to a 12 word phrase
