Basilisk V3 - can I prevent bricking by NOT installing Synapse?

I was considering this mouse but I see that a lot of users has the problems, like so: 

At the end, I figured out that the root of the problem is the wheel button. But, more importantly, I saw that most of users reported problems AFTER updating Synapse and the firmware.

So, my question is: maybe problems will not happen if I do NOT install Synapse at all? Or maybe I can install it but not update firmware?

Really the only thing I want to change is to enable “smart-reel” and that is it. I would save changes on-board and delete Synapse.

Would this “solution” work?
