I've used my Poke 3 completely offline due to privacy concerns, and just discovered that rooting can help solve those issues thanks to this forum

I use KOReader for books and Tachiyomi for manga. Once rooted for a more privacy-friendly connected experience, I plan to use AFWall+, Syncthing, and Wallabag.

Are there any downsides to rooting if I don't care for any Onyx or Google apps?
Is Thomas' Random Hackery still the best guide to use for rooting the Poke 3? What else should I keep in mind so that everything goes smoothly?
The Poke 3 is still on an older v3.1 firmware. What am I missing out on by not upgrading? If upgrading is recommended, which version and how do I get it?
