Given that Kindle Scribe is now jailbreakable with WinterBreak, would this still work on the latest firmware?

https://github.com/schuhumi/alpine_kindle

Given:

"alpine linux extension and many others probably don't work properly after fw >=5.13.6 as new fw versions need hf binaries."

I am afraid to test this out given there are 2 recent posts (e.g. this one from yesterday) of people seemingly bricking their device whilst dealing with alpine linux - so would appreciate feedback from anyone with more in-depth knowledge on this...

Thanks!
