The D300 is the last model to support mass storage mode. If you set the camera to mass storage in the usb options, it will act as a card reader. From the D90 onwards, mass storage is no longer available. This means that if you have a D300s, you need a card reader to update firmware or Picture controls.
If you shoot in raw, you don't have to have the picture controls in the camera, you can just install them in Capture NX and apply them in post.

If I remember correctly, at least one part of the update was for stability in some special case, I don't remember which. I don't remember any downside to the update(s) I have made. Make sure you have a recently charged battery and follow the instructions exactly.
