I personally have never done a single thing you mentioned except removing DRM and I can't be bothered any more. That's why I have Kindles, so I can read Kindle content.
Generally speaking, unless someone who comes here to ask for device recommendations mentions a factor or an issue in their question, I think the assumption is that it doesn't matter to them. And the more esoteric, the more likely. Jailbreaking, seriously? Where did you get the idea that the OP is interested in that? Too much of many recommendations are sheer projection.
Now I'll project a bit: I think most people mainly want a nice device that they can afford/represents a good value that lets them access and read ebooks easily. The rest is mostly incidentals and relatively much less important, if at all. And most of them have viable alternatives, as well. Can't sideload? Send to Kindle is phenomenal and I only wish Kobo had it.
I personally can't understand why someone would prefer an outdated piece of tech that's far too expensive (if it were significantly cheaper I'd understand), but people are funny. Heh. I'd gladly swap out my PW5 for a PW6 and even include a sweetener. Jailbreak? Piffle. I lust for those snappy page turns.
