I was concerned as I bricked my PW3 while trying to jailbreak it. Nothing I couldn't reverse with the serial jailbreak but as that option seems unavailable for now for the PW4, this felt like a higher risk to me.
One issue with the PW3 was we had really old factory firmware and what seems to be new, unsupported/incompatible hardware revisions.

Amazon doesn't really allow downgrades anymore so as long as you're not downgrading and are only installing factory firmware >= stock firmware, it's pretty safe.

That said, there doesn't appear to be new hardware revisions yet that brick on 5.10.1.3.
