I despise this kind of thing.
If you are taking the risk to do a frame perfect poke in between pressure it should be just that, a RISK. You should not be able to mash a fast poke while still blocking. Also frame perfect pokes/special reversals should require timing and practice, not inputting the move while still being able to block. If we want our game to require high level skill and execution and to reward the players who put in time to learn to nail gaps/just frame punishes we should not be happy about this find. Hopefully NRS will address this in a patch making you be forced to release block for these pokes/specials to come out. I have faith that they will because it is clear they want this game to have a massive tournament following with ESL and whatnot.
It is a risk.
Believe it or not, I actually did know about this. Kinda necessary to make Shinnok work at all, those 6 frame b.3 punishes don't make themselves.
However, I'm equally inclined to stress that anyone who knows about this can play around it easily. Frame-gaps into full-combo punishes, frame traps, its injustice-age stuff where you'd just have to sit and take it because your options to avoid it are nulled if you risk it.
Not to put down Ribbz, its great that he found and posted it first, probably knew it before even I did, but there is a fair amount of risk to all of this.
