If things are working fine you probably don't really need to upgrade, but that said, I probably would anyway.

Installing the firmware is as simple as dropping it into /libre/firmware and overwriting the old file. It is generally wise to back it up first. Should be safe to just append "backup" to the name of the older firmware and leave it in the same directory. that way if you experience problems with the new firmware you can always revert. I wouldn't anticipate any problems... but... there is a limited amount of real-world testing that can realistically be performed and you would certainly be an early adopter of this new firmware.
