Bitundo says it is still doable.

There seems to be an orphan block affecting the issue. Quite a coincidence.

What does this do to the case?

I suspect that bitundo is mistaken.

An orphan one block deep might still be possible to overcome.  An orphan 2 blocks deep would be very difficult to overcome.

This transaction is now 14 blocks deep.  Unless bitundo has access to more than 50% of the total global hash power, the odds that they can undo this transaction are less than 0.0001%.

As has been pointed out it won't hurt to try, but don't get your hopes up.
