Do I need to uninstall to try the new firmware?

There is no need to uninstall. Usually, the process is rather painless. See the post
how to install kobo update packages.

Even without having to unistall, you might want to save settings and maybe some other files. There is always a chance that something goes wrong and you have to factory reset your device. What exactly you will want to save depends on what changes you did to KSM.
I guess many people only changed the settings available via "configure". In order to preserve them, save the file
.adds\kbmenu\ksm_ini. If you added some configuration options (if you did, you will certainly know), save the folder
.adds\kbmenu\confoptions\.
Other folders that you likely might want to save depending on your usage are:
.adds\kbmenu\backup\ (if you are using the backup function [currently not recommended on Glo HD])
.adds\kbmenu\Qt\fonts\ (if you added fonts here)
.adds\kbmenu\mynotes\ (if you out any files there)
.adds\kbmenu\fmonsh\ (if you added or modified script files there)
If you added pngs for usage with fmon, you might want to save
kbmenupngs\.
As for Koreader, I do not much of personalization. Actually, the only thing I change is "show hidden files". Therefore I do not make any back ups. If I were to make a back up, I simply copied the whole koreader folder.

Koreader and KSM usually work with new firmwares, the problem is rather new hardware.
