Good news y'all! Brand new 12th gen PW from Best Buy came with some early FW and I was able to jailbreak it! Here's the steps I took.
- Powered it on and skipped setup
- Filled up the storage with some garbage files
- registered the kindle and immediately put it on airplane mode
- followed the jailbreak steps (reboot, copy files, open store, etc)
- installed the hot fix
so confirmed at least with the latest paper white you can still jailbreak a brand new one if you fill the storage before registering it, and then basically have it in airplane mode as much as possible.

Good luck everyone!

Btw, the fw it came with from Best Buy was 5.17.0
