It's better to do it that way since enabling devmode allows people on the same Wi-Fi network full remote access to the Kobo.

Well TIL that you do NOT need DEVMODEON to set the "ForceWifiOn=true" option in [DeveloperSettings] in the /mnt/onboard/.kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf file.
Previously I had thought otherwise due to a goodereader article, and my own failure to activate it with a NickelMenu entry, if I recall correctly.

I tested it that WiFi shuts off automatically after 1-2 minutes of inactivity, but will stay on if "ForceWifiOn=true" in [DeveloperSettings] in the /mnt/onboard/.kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf file, EVEN IF DEVMODEOFF.
So thanks for that heads up. I've corrected my previous posts.
