The patches should not survive a successful firmware update, and shouldn't be able to cause problems either.
I let the update proceed because I felt a false sense of security about the failsafe mentality of Nickel*. I do have a feeling it was due to my battery being too low to successfully upgrade. My bad.

I guess with my refurb LIbra 2 replacement I'll probably still put some mods on it, but will also make a mental note to remove the mods before allowing an update to proceed. Or just consider it an old device and never update it again.

I bought a Pocketbook Era Color, btw, just to keep my sleep/read routine going. I'm pretty pissed off about this.
