I have the H2O and I do not know if it would be the same for the Touch, but I have always side-loaded earlier firmwares after updates without any problems to my existing library.

When I have tried to do a factory reset before installing my favorite flavor firmware, I run into the problem of the H2O entering set up mode, during which my computer cannot see the Kobo, so I cannot side-load my preferred firmware. Also, during set up, the Kobo updates to the latest firmware, so even doing a factory reset I am still rolling back to an earlier firmware.
