Thanks to Amazon's "fuck independent developers, let's screw them over again and again" policy, CM has to needlessly be adapted to every firmware.
Thank you and thank you also for constantly working on this.

Question: would it be of use (and possible) to downgrade the firmware then?

The thought alone makes me sweat but I really really miss the easy working with Calibre and Kindle Collections.

Yes, that's bad indeed. :/

If Amazon would listen to users and improve the Kindle users would be happy, Amazon would be happy (because sales might increase) and only developers will be bored.
