If there is an earlier firmware, that runs well enough, for that device, then KSM can probably still run fine on that device. Yes there well be those who own very recent devices who will not be able to use KSM, for the most part that is spelled out in the KSM thread.
If it won't work on your device, you need not use it. If you try it, and it doesn't work, remove it, no harm done. No one needs to try KSM if they don't feel like it. That said; It is certainly OK to use KSM, for many Kobo users.

The only known hardware that KSM won't work with is Mark 7 hardware. If I really did want to use KSM to bypass Nickel on boot and go straight to a KOReader, I'd install an earlier firmware that I know KSM will work with. But I will not install KSM with 4.23.15548 as it most likely won't work and could cause me to have to factory reset. If we knew what firmware is the cutoff point, then we could stop arguing.
