They seem to be dealing with the Pi3 and circa 2018. Still relevant?
Yes, it's a risk to select the right files. Probably too much risk.
My advice is to use a second microSD containing Raspbian.
On Raspbian use the rpi-update command to update the firmware. That's the safest way to do it.
After that, insert your LE card, and it hopefully runs better with the new firmware.
