Uhm... I run KP49 and Irreco works just fine for me. I also run CSSU, so maybe that's part of it? As for CSSU, KP is a much larger risk than CSSU in may ways. Kernel changes are far more likely to cause crashes than user-space changes.

As for the risk being worth it, that's something you need to make the choice on for yourself. But the stability fixes in CSSU are pretty significant, and if there were major risk, you'd be seeing a lot more activity on the install thread than currently is there for the number of people that have installed it. (Especially the "stable" branch.)
