Hoping to root. Any point to continuing to block updates for my PW2? (FW 5.8.11)

I was hoping that there would be a jail break for my Kindle... does it make sense to keep blocking updates?

Or should I just enable updates and move to 5.9.0.2 or whatever the latest version is?

Nearly all of our add-ins work on 5.8.11
And nearly none of the work on 5.9.<anything>

So block updates now and wait for a jail break
OR
Update now and wait for a jail break plus updates of all of our add-ins.
