Not sure if that info was correct though...
That is correct.

SD cards tend to go corrupt a lot faster than flash memory.
Not true. SD card storage IS flash memory, just mounted on a removable card. So if you are not inserting and removing it frequently then the service life should be the same as other flash memory.

In case my device breaks down/bricks, is there a way to upload Kobo firmware on another (micro)SD card and insert it in the device?
Yes you can do this. This is one of the main benefits of having the internal storage on a removable card. Another one is that you can ugrade to a larger card by copying the old card to the new one and expanding the user partition to fill the extra space.
