Well, I knew about the 8 write limits of the controller, so I soldiered on with the original firmware for up until now. One could get used to the behaviour, especially if one used the PB Pro (and PB) as a daily driver (which I do).
But the new firmware is actually really, really good. Much better than the original firmware (and I run one of the first PB Pro from the first batch). Nice to see, that even such an old piece of tech still receives major improvements.

Oh, and, btw, does anyone have a "6" keycap for the original PB? Mine broke and I would hate to throw an otherwise working PC out ....
