After a long period of absence, I was glad to learn about
WatchThis JB yesterday. Thanks to @katadelos, I managed to JB my Kindle Oasis (9th Generation) yesterday. Installed
JB Hotfix,
MRPI, and
KUAL, and then instead of installing custom packages from scratch, I copied my current ones from my Kindle Voyage.

While playing with SSH over WiFi happily thanks to USBNetwork, I received the official OTA FW 5.15.1 update. So, I confirm that PREVENT OTA Updates doesn't work on FW >= 5.14.2.

On a happy note, I also would like to confirm that
JB Hotfix helps and JB survives the FW update. Thank you once more @NiLuJe.
However, having installed everything from scratch this time using @NiLuJe's
Snapshots, I have noticed that USBNetwork had stopped working. Not that it doesn't work actually, * SSHD is up (usbms, wifi only) *. But I am asked for password although I have /mnt/us/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys in place. Code must have changed between versions 0.22.N @18289 on 2021-Mar-25 @18:22 and 0.22.N @18981 on 22-Oct-02 @03:32. I switched back to v 0.22.N @18289 copying the files I have backed up. All is fine.
Any pointers would be much appreciated for I would not like to go back to SSH over USB to configure USBNetwork from the start.
