going from fw 2.8.1 to 3.1--worth it?

1)i just wanted to ask that should i upgrade the firmware to 3.1 from 2.8.1(as 2.8.1 has virtually no obvious bugs)?i have been waiting so that all bugs are resolved but they keep on increasing or a few relevent ones still remain and new appear(coz i saw wifi problems have appeared and many others ).and so should i wait for new updates or do it coz it seems they are taking away few usable features as well with more firmware releases?

2)what are the features i loose and what do i gain except pocket?what are the main bugs that i might encounter in 3.1 that hamper the experience?

3)i use my aura hd for reading pdfs and a few novels .so how big of a deal is loosing stats in experience of reading a book?will they ever come back?

4)and also are there any margin changes as i look as much less margins as possible so more reading space for pdfs and novels?

5)what do i loose in sideloaded kepubs?like i know i loose stats but what other feaetures would i loose or gain?

6)and do i loose anything on the pdf experience side as its very important to me?i found in other threads that pdf in landscape has problems are they resolved or still there?

7)And overall which firmware would be a better firmware for a person using the kobo to read pdfs?

one more question: now there are problems with font kobo nickel(btw i use default fonts) but not that i get distracted by font problems but there's a long discussion on it so what does the problem exactly hinder in the reading?i just cant understand how can a font be distracting?

i apologise if i offend somebody but pls explain

pls reply
thanks in advance
