I feel like random delays would make the glitch attack harder but it would still be possible given enough attempts. Seems like the bigger issue is that you can glitch the CPU reset line which corrupts the processing rather than having no effect or resetting the CPU.

I assume those are probably very hard to fix since (again, I assume, I'm just a hobbyist in the hardware space) that sort of glitch relies on propagation delays (e.g. a short burst triggering some latches but not others, or triggering the latches in some specific synchrony).

Can anyone confirm if I'm on the right track with my guess?
