Personally, I'm not a fan of permanently marooning myself on an old fw. The choice about whether to downgrade or not is entirely yours to make. As always, risk vs. reward.

You might like to check with someone else about the safest way to do a fw downgrade on your particular Kobo model. I never offer technical advice about downgrading because I don't have enough practical experience of doing it to know if/when there are potential problems to avoid.
Others on MR have downgraded 4.33 to 4.32 with no problem just by installing 4.32.

But before doing any firmware install, it's a good idea to copy everything from Kobo to the computer just to be safe.
