According to the wiki and the instructions for JB, they recommend after installing the hotfix, update the fw.
Is it safe to update to the last fw? I think it's 5.11.2. Because if I have to update, I do not understand so that updates with kual + and helper + are prevented.
I have used Koreader, it is configured so that as a screensaver the book that is being read appears, after a night in standby and 1 hour of reading, it has consumed 15-20% of battery. It is normal?

It is safe to update the most recent version.
As a matter of reduced effort, it would have been easier if you had update the firmware after installing the hotfix and before installing anything else.
But no matter, you just have to re-install all add-ins after doing the update. (Only the jb and the hotfix survives the update, everything else needs to be re-installed.)
The battery consumption is normal
for the factory use only firmware.
That is; factory use only firmware is only intended to test the Kindle while on the factory.
It is the customer use firmware builds that are suppose to work for the customer (rather than for Q.A. on the factory).
TL;DR:
Update the current firmware and then re-install anything that breaks.
