It is just another software for reading ebooks.
Firmware is something completely different. You still would have firmware untouched (unless you start messing somehow with
hidden system partition, which you usually don't see at all).
Also, nickel works on top of firmware, but when you do firmware upgrades, you usually update just nickel, or some very small part of firmware. But, this depends on actual firmware upgrade, recently Kobo went for 32bit image.
So, just look at it like having more than one reading software. I have 3 on my device (nickel I don't use at all, koreader I use and CoolReader, for just in case). You also would need to install one more software, KSM, to help you manage which reader you want to use.
It is not that complicated to install KSM, but you need to read instructions in KSM thread. Instructions are detailed and good. After that, installing koreader is just putting one directory (with all subdirectories, of course) in one exact location on your device. After that within KSM you choose which reader you want to use (koreader or nickel).
There could be a bit of learning, but not too much.
