It is not necessary to change the firmware, You simply must apply the correct patches for Your firmware. If I remember correctly You can also return to a earlier firmware.

But, in my opinion, the last firmware is the better one (well there is the little bug with font sharpness changes that are not shown in epub unless You shut down and fire on again the device but it is not so important).

The advantage of the patch method is that once You learned to patch the Kobo, and it is not so difficult, You have a myriad of choices to get Your device to fit better Your preferences.

The only drawback is that You won't have anymore the possibility of showing the Adobe page number in Epub but they are in a strange position on the screen that sometimes overlay the text in the right part of it.
The new firmware is needed because of the patch for night mode is only available on the new firmware. So yes, 4.19.x has to be installed.
