Just a feedback: I couldn't find any answers to my questions, nor find the specific reasons behind the brick, and so I resorted to the factory reset. The filesystem was, as I suspected, in some messed up state between jb and original firmware. It did formatted the device, but reapplying the jailbreak wasn't smooth as the first time. It threw error messages regarding missing files when loading the demo mode, eventually I could get to install LanguageBreak, but then again later I had some trouble installing the hotfix, as it was keeping under some kind of semi-jailbreak state. Eventually, with some insistent rebootings and putting screen to sleep throughout the process it seems to have completed all steps, and is on a stable state now.
My lesson with this experiment: it is very hard to find detailed explanations on how jailbreak works, and how kindle paperwhite 11th internals work, also you can easily mistake different models solutions which are incompatible with this model and be misled by cryptic lingo, it's almost a black box with very little room to experiment if you are not already part of the veteran niche who are already deeply knowledgeable about its functioning. Just do this if you are really comfortable with the possibility of bricking your device beyond repair.
