This way I can adjust the light pretty well..
I'll give it another try. I just remember it being a bit aggravating. It's easy enough to return to 3.12.1 if I'm still not happy.

Edit: Successfully installed the new firmware. It's not as bad as I remember, but the delay when adjusting brightness is still annoying. Small adjustments are fine, but when you do big adjustments, it takes a second or two for the brightness to ramp up or down to the new setting, so it can be very easy to go all the way up to 100% when you only intended to go to 50%.

"Pinch to adjust font size" can be disabled, so all is good there. It looks like "Refresh at every chapter" also works as expected. In 3.12.1, that setting would simply refresh every page turn. My Aura also seems a bit snappier overall.

I think I'll stick with the new firmware for now since it is able to navigate my ESV Global Study Bible much more quickly. It's a 53MB volume with a large table of contents and thousands of links throughout the text that lead to end-notes and commentary. It opens significantly faster than it did on 3.12.1, and navigation is much, much quicker.
