I think that @review gives a good account of the changes. It's possible that the fonts in PDF documents look a bit better, but I could be mistaken about that. The keyboard works exactly the same as before, it's just rendered more nicely (it looks like an animated keyboard now rather than simple characters inside some big boxes). I use the NA firmwares, which I don't think had the package removal problems. Apart from my problems with poterm.app, I haven't noticed anything else being worse than before. Aside from the improvements mentioned by @review, the only other thing I noticed was that the speaker sound made the first time you press a button when the device is in sleep mode seems to be quieter now; I have to listen carefully to hear it now. So, at least one other bug has been fixed in this release!

I would say that if you don't use poterm, you shouldn't be afraid of installing this upgrade.
