The underlying question is: How high is the probability that there will be a jailbreak that will not be usable with a firmware version later than 5.19.2?

And I know that this is highly speculative…

There's no idea if 15.9.2 will be able to be jailbroken any better then a newer firmware would be. And if a new firmware is released and not pulled, it could be better. With Amazon, it's a crap shoot no matter what you do.
