But simply using My Books tab and doing nothing else will suffice. Patches are mostly for things other than the Kobo Store.

What's great about Kobo Ereader, it that it's easier to ignore the Store than Kindle, it works better than any ereader with Calibre, the My Books & Search combined with Collections (Shelves) and Series lets you quickly find any book even if there are 10,000.

Also the Kobo Store works well in Browser and the downloaded purchase isn't locked to one ereader like Amazon. You don't even need a Kobo or Kobo app.
Sideloadmode does away with the home screen so no. I would never ever recommend it to anyone.
