There is next to zero % chance of bricking your PW1. You just have to read the instructions carefully (IIRC most often reason for jailbreak "not working" was when people didn't unpack the archive and copy it's content to correct location on Kindle drive), it does it's thing or doesn't because of some user error, or unsupported firmware.
Also, if you don't want your PW to update again (after jailbreaking and rebooting the Kindle to let it install MKK and "bridge" code that allows the jailbreak to survive firmware update you are free to update it to 5.6.1.1) you will have to read about ways of blocking the OTA update that still work for fw 5.4.4.2 , or keep it offline.
But you probably should update it back to 5.6.1.1 because that update added support for new KFX book format IIRC.
