As for myself, I've never ever connected my Kindles to the internet. (The only situation I'd do that is if it run completely out of battery power and the internal clock - namely the date - was reset, because there's no way to set the
date via a user command.) But i've helped some of my friends jailbreaking their devices. I then updated to fw 5.8.11 and did create the OTA blocker dir (to make a bit more sure: also set it read-only). They're using their Kindles normally with Amazon accounts, and they did not report any unwanted OTA updates until now...
