Yes, there was one really bad firmware update. But if you keep up with the firmware threads here on MR, you'd know if there was a reason to not install the new firmware. The problem exists with your wife's Kobo because you stopped updating the firmware.
You do need to register your wife's Kobo. There is no harm in doing so. I've had a Kobo for 9 years. I've been registered all that time. I do keep the WiFi off and I do not sync. I download any eBooks from Kobo as ePub and I strip the DRM from all eBooks I purchase.
