I have 3.1.1 on my Mini, and can confirm that the only problem is the outsized covers in the home screen. True, accessing Pocket is cumbersome, but it is also the case that latest firmware version for the Mini has no Pocket at all - in my case, I am ok with what is to me a mild inconvenience. However as 3.1.1 is not supposed to go on the Mini, I would not recommend sideloading it to those who don't want to risk wasting a lot of time with copying book, annotations for sideloaded books etc. in case they want to roll back, precisely because of the need of a factory reset in that case.
