I can only think of one Kobo firmware update that modified the recovery partition and that was specific to Touch devices (sold in Australia???) that had issues with installing firmware updates
As for factory updates, I've done too many to count. Most were done before I got enthused about error checking all epubs before transferring them to my Kobo. If it doesn't pass FlightCrew and EpubCheck for epub2 or EpubCheck alone for epub3, time to fire up Sigil and fix it.
Recent factory resets were triggered after severe database corruption caused such things as not safely ejecting under Windows, having a Linux VM crash and burn while doing a metadata update, a power outage while vacuuming the database, etc.
