Question about a new remarkable2 and hacking (alien.top)

Sorry this may have been covered in different comments but I can't find a single source and am terrible at reading GitHubs layout.

I'm buying a new Rm2 and wanted to know if the new firmware is easy enough to hack/mod? I see mention of separate hardware being needed if I brick it and was wondering what the story is.

Also what are the most common features that people hack for?

I hope to use it to read for leisure and take notes in meetings that I can get to other devices (windows & Mac). Do I need to hack for any extra functionality? I don't have any issue using epub/pdf

If you Google remarkable hack you get the GitHub with instructions. You'll need to downgrade to a compatible version. What I'm not sure about is why to hack. I need to do it to make extra features work on the Lamy stylus I bought instead of the remarkable official one. It offered more cloud options without a subscription. I also believe and hope, that DRM and cloud stuff will be better.
