I think I might do that, Harry.
I find it so interesting that from all of you the answer to this was so simple to give, and yet the Voyage manual, the Kindle help pages, many various Google searches, various Mobileread searches and Amazon customer service all offered no illumination whatsoever. After this thread, I even contacted Amazon customer service again, to specifically ask if they know that the updates roll out in waves. I was curious whether my first rep was an outlier. The new rep had no idea at first what I was talking about either; I had to re-explain it in very simple and direct terms before she could even understand what I was trying to ask. After almost five minutes of her searching for the answer, she came back to tell me that if wi-fi is off when updates are sent, you won't receive yours then. So I suppose Amazon keep no info for their reps about rolling out updates in waves.
This was really just a (very minor) perfect storm - that an update just happened to come out just as I got a new Kindle for the first time, and that it just happened to actually have something I really wanted to try (the new Bookerly font). Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered wondering about automatic updates for a long time probably, if ever.
