And after looking up words in a dictionary, closing the look-up window temporarily leaves a rectangle of blank on the screen.
According to several informal reports on Discord the jailbreak should survive the update to 5.18.4, providing the latest hotfix is installed prior to the update; however I haven’t updated my own Kindles to 5.18.4 so I can’t corroborate this myself.

I did however update them to 5.18.3, so I can confirm that the jailbreak does survive that update (again making sure that the latest hotfix is installed and ran prior to the update); if you’re unsure about updating to 5.18.4, perhaps updating to 5.18.3 might be enough to fix the issues you’re experiencing with WordWise and dictionary lookup.
