The problem is, I liked the old user interface I had on my older one way better.

Correct me if I am wrong, though: it is a serious brick risk to install a firmware of a release older than the first one ever released for a specific device, right?

That is, if my kindle was initially sold to the public with fw 5.14.3, it is risky to put 5.12.1 on it, right?

Shall it brick, it is not guaranteed at all that it could be unbricked without tearing it apart, is that correct?
the lowest FW version (that i can grab from Amazon) for the PW5 is 5.14.1.1.
You can't (well should) run FW from other kindles.
So no don't downgrade to 5.12.1
