When installing a firmware update that matches your device type, I would strongly recommend copying the upgrade folder as well otherwise you miss the Linux system updates (those zimage-whatever files buried in that directory in the newer firmware releases).

The only time I recommend using only the KoboRoot.tgz file is when installing a firmware version not intended for your device (a Kobo Forma mark 7 firmware package on a Kobo Aura HD for example).
