Take a hammer to it?

Joking (barely) aside, apparently, no. Unless you feel like reviving @knc1's firewall rules, checking that they still behave, and have no adverse effects (mainly, battery drain because of stupid retries).

Note that the new bridge is obviously untested on FW 5.12, and may eat your first-born's soul. While still potentially being no help at all on the >= 5.12.2 front.
(No longer joking here, it will enforce extra bits of debugging everywhere, parts of which involve re-flashing the touchscreen's FW, which may or may not be problematic on a non-factory FW).

It is as harmless as ever on older FW, though.
