(Assuming by GNU bootloader you mean GRUB) In Arch GRUB is patched to search intel-ucode.img automatically. If you write your own grub.cfg instead of using grub-mkconfig, you just put the image name in the same "initrd" line before the main initramfs.

Do you use Intel CPU? Try to setup microcode and see if it helps https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microcode
I do, but that has not changed, and as CPU problems would likely affect the whole system rather than a specific library I'm hesitant to try something so low-level.
You should definitely set the microcode updates up, bugs in μcode could affect any part of the system and you'll need to do it sooner or later. It's not hard to do, at least with syslinux, I hear the GNU bootloader is more complicated to use.
