Well, we appreciate the faith that people have in WebOS Internals 
Whether to remove patches or not this time is really a personal decision.
The upgrade process has been tested by about 5 or so people many many times (each full cycle involved doctoring a phone to 1.3.1, installing 200 patches, waiting for an OTA update, then hitting update all, then doing it all again when a bug was found, and Eric did that over 30 times on his personal phone), but it is only 5 or so people that have done that full test.
There *will* be issues for some people when the next webOS version drops. That is inevitable. Some people will have really old manual changes, or patches that they've installed manually, or patches that they've installed with really old versions of tools, or themes installed, or mytether 2.0 installed, or any number of other things which can stuff things up.
We have thoroughly and comprehensively tested the case where *all* patches have been installed using Preware, and *no* themes have ever been installed, and no other programs like MyTether or other programs that mess with webOS files are installed.
If you stray outside that defined area, then there's a good chance that things can go wrong (and truthfully, if they do we will advise you to visit the webOS Doctor).
If you stay inside that defined area (and using WebOS Quick Install 3.0 is probably within that defined area too, but we haven't personally tested that ourselves), then we are fairly confident that it should be a smooth patch upgrade for a large majority of people.
But there are no guarantees.
So trust your own instinct, but be brave when you can.
I personally recommend that you use Preware to install patches, that you remove any themes before updates, and trust AUPT to do the rest.
But if you absolutely can not bear a trip to the webOS Doctor under any circumstances, then you may want to EPR first as well for your own peace of mind.
