No need - it was only PBPs manufactured in 2019 that needed the touchpad/keyboard update. After that, it would only be if you wanted the features offered by a custom firmware, or if you were having issues.

Generally no. Since the boot order is SPI flash -> eMMC -> SD, and the SPI is blank, it will try to boot from the eMMC. I'm pretty sure the stock uboot checks the SD card for a boot image, and will transfer control to that if present. You should only need to fiddle with the eMMC's uboot image/version if you want other functionality (like nvme boot) or due to compatibility issues with certain OSs. Hopefully things are not too far away from a stable uboot that will control the display and respond to keyboard input (as well as allowing NVMe and maybe even USB boot), making it good candidate for putting on the SPI flash, so you don't even need to worry about the eMMC or SD.
