I.e., I bet most of the Kindle manufactured during the week of after Aug 28,2023 (3-35-X) already have 5.16.3+, which makes current JB methods useless.

Fair enough, but 99% probability is grossly exagerated. I know of two Scribes that had 5.16.1 out of the box with manufacture dates of 301X and 310X. So, although the first is well before 5.16.1.2, the second is at or after 5.16.1.2.1
