All things taken into consideration, do you think that if I were to by the firefly now, that my device would be severely behind upon the release of the updated model? This is my main concern since I don't want to buy a product that will essentially become a paperweight prematurely.

Speaking for myself, I base purchasing decisions on current capabilities (and thus current firmware). Any additional updates are simply bonuses, and failure to update does not turn the unupdated device into a "paperweight".
As to whether current (Freestyle-based) hardware will be compatible with firmware updates for newer iterations based upon the Rockchip RK2906, you would probably have to ask Booxter. From what I have read about the ARM ecosystem (where most licensees use ARM's own designs rather than developing their own), it would seem reasonably likely.
