Now we have cross-signing, another mechanism to prevent UISIs could be for senders to resend megolm keys for conversations to new devices if they are verified (or respond to keyshare reqs for said keys). This means that even if the new device doesn't have online backup, and can't request the keys from the user's other devices, they can request them from the sender
