I think they should actually rename that from sign out of account to something else. What it basically does from my understanding is forces a rebuild of your library database on your Kobo. This is a less drastic step than a full scale factory reset which reloads the firmware that runs your Kobo and a reload of your library. It would also let you change users without completely wiping the device. I can't remember if you can redo this wirelessly (should be able to), but yes it does require a complete redownload of your library.

Most people are doing that (I have since I got it on day of release) and it works fine, so go nuts.
