Kobo updates (KoboRoot.tgz) aren't necessairly "firmware upgrades" in the same sense as "BIOS upgrade". It mostly depends on what is in them. To answer your question, patching is safe.

Why do you need to use NickelMenu just for this ONE add - I don't understand.
NickelMenu does inversion, if that's desired, unlike the patch. Also, if someone doesn't already use the patches, NM can be more convenient.
