(b) update from 4.30 to 4.32 (the reports look good, but I usually prefer to wait a week)?
There is no need to wait. This is independent of the firmware on the device. When I do this sort of thing, what I do is take a full copy of the books partition. If something goes wrong, or when I have finished testing, I can restore it and not lose reading statistics or anything else.

Firmware 4.32 displays some extra statistics for books from Kobo. They are the page and word count, plus an estimate of reading time. These are the same as shown in the store. When you update the firmware, any books from Kobo will get these populated at the next sync. I have added updating these values in the built-in driver. That will be in the next calibre release and the extended driver will inherit this behaviour. If you want to use it, you will need to do some configuration.
