(Well, not unless after connecting you do a factory reset and re-install your chosen firmware version and re-load your books every single time - which is not a practical scenario). That's a fair bit of functionality gone.

Uhm...new firmware doesn't download unless you sync....you can use wi-fi without syncing...I do it all the time for many of the things you list. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've only ever had firmware download when I consciously choose to sync. Not just by using the browser, etc.
