It seems like it is almost always a crapshoot as to whether or not the jailbreak will still be intact or the launchers for Koreader will still function.

So why update is the question?
If you use NickelMenu to launch KOReader on your Kobo, it will still work after you update the firmware. That's why using KFMon is a rather bad idea. If you do use KFMon, KFMon should be uninstalled and you should setup NickelMenu to launch KOReader.
