That's your choice, "let other people be a test subject" so I'm the "other people" you refer to!
You can thank me later
When I almost lost my mavic, there was a new FW update that included the high wind warnings, I chose not to update as it was inconvenient at the time as I wasn't on a wifi network and I believe FW updates should always be done with a cable to your PC, so I carried on flying, IF I had updated I would have got the high wind warnings and would not have flown as high as I did.
Once the mavic is a year or so old and FW is very stable then yes you don't have to update straight away, but when a product is in the early stage I think it's crucial to update.
