The most immediate need for root would be a package name conflict or it not being friendly with setting launchers. But ultimately it comes down to I do not trust Android devices unless I have root.
As far as the launcher goes though, is this an accurate depiction?

If so, it's very much what I would like to avoid entirely. I want a nice desktop looking thing with three icons, (Amaze, FBReader, F-Droid). I'm not married to Nova, and was actually planning to look into a few of the open launchers on f-droid on an old phone I had handy.
