We got an early copy of that paper. What that paper mostly says is
that we didn't properly document the amount of rounds required in
case you can't trust the input, the documentation has been
changed to make that more clear.

Related to that, since that paper we have increased the number of
Miller-Rabin rounds, but that work started before we saw that
paper.

As result of that paper I've started working on the Lucas prime
test, for which there is an open PR. I intend to create a
Bailie-PSW test after 1.1.1.
