No one can accuse you of nit doing your homework. But you might be putting the cart before the horse.
Actually get the device in hand and use it for a bit. See what is good and bad on it before tweaking too much. Definitely before installing Koreader.
Kobo's own firmware is very good. Unless you have a need to have the files on the Forma arranged
just so or unless you are planning on reading lots of PDFs (in which case I'd just recommend a tablet), you can likely happily get by without Koreader.

I don't understand the desire to not register the device. You aren't the only poster with this desire, so I'm not criticizing. I just don't get it. I have an account with Kobo and if I ever decide to buy a book from them, I'll be glad of it.
At any rate, I don't have any Kobo software installed on my PC and didn't have an issue activating my Clara. I leave WiFi off on my reader, so I doubt they're snooping on my reading habits, though I leave it off to save battery and to only update when I'm ready..
