Is there a safe way to completely reformat the Kindle and restore a previous firmware, or am I pretty much stuck?

As an alternative, is there some way to put Wi-Fi option back in the regular menu (instead of having to go to Settings)?
You are pretty much stuck.
The K4 used incremental updates, not complete images.

You might be able to find a complete image in the various collections of "debricking images".
Check with Geekmaster's original debricking threads, see what might still be posted on-line.
