I know I'm too late with this but I'll answer anyway in case it helps someone else ...

There isn't a simple yes/no answer.
  1. Some of the patches in the src .yaml files haven't needed to change for years, e.g. 'Custom footer (page number text)'
  2. Some must change for every firmware, e.g. 'Freedom to advanced fonts control'
  3. Others are somewhere in the middle. They can survive many firmware updates but then Kobo change something fundamental and the patch needs to be updated by the owner.

A rule-of-thumb is that if a patch's code in the .yaml contains a hex offset, e.g. {Offset: 0x87BD4A, ...} it's an example of type 2 above.

Best practice is always to use the src .yaml patch files for the firmware version actually present on your Kobo.
