I believe the risk of bricking the radio by installing wlanpoke
according to the the simplified or the original instructions to be very
small. However, if the settings are changed to create 1) very large log
files 2) on a persistent folder, and these large files then eventually
grow to exceed the available storage, this could cause sluggish or even
failed normal operations, which would require reducing these file sizes,
or a reset. Of course, willy-nilly deletion of files and directories
with break the system and require a reset.

I cannot speak to the restorative function of the factory reset
operation, but the original authors have assured us in the SSH login
welcome message:

...You can safely modify any of the files on this system. A factory
reset (press and hold add on power on) will remove all your
modifications and revert to the installed firmware.

I have never done this. A reset like this is or should be a fairly
simple operation. I may try something like this when I get around to
installing the new community build firmware (but not now, unless someone
has a really good reason to do so).
