See Bypassing registration in 3.19+ for an example of someone who had issues with a firmware upgrade.

Personally, since bypassing registration is not a supported action, you are taking your chances for no real gain.
I've been saying that it's a really bad idea to fake register a Kobo and may others have been poo-pooing me for it even though it really is a bad idea.
