Each time you create a .tgz via the patcher it is a complete re-write of only the 1,2,3 or 4 files inside it (libnickel.so.1.0.0 in the case of the dictionary patch in your initial post). Nothing is done to the rest of the files in the firmware. So there is no need to factory reset.
As far as I understand it, if your Kobo is not having problems, the only time you need to factory reset is in preparation for downgrading to an older firmware version than the one currently installed.
Just be aware that the .tgz file you have created should only be used on a Kobo running fw 4.4.9298. If you upgrade your firmware you will need to repeat the patching process to create a new .tgz using the patch pack from the thread dedicated to patching this new firmware version.
P.S. Is there a reason why you're still using 4.4.9298, which is pretty old?
