But many of the interesting updates such as robust >4GB disk support, 060 support etc. kinda require the changes in the ROM.

Yes, you are right, the update covers all three segments you describe:
Plenty of AmigaDOS components have been updated/bugfixed/enhanced/optimised.
Workbench has also received many fixes.
And the kickstart rom has quite a numerous list of rom modules that significantly changed for better.
As said numerous times on this and other forums by its developers: whilst at first sight to the untrained amiga eye, the update will resemble the look of a vintage 3.1 system, there is a lot that has been done under the hood, fixing all kinds of nasty bugs. Plus, there are a couple of new nice features that focus on performance and usability, that go way beyond what 3.1-3.9 did offer.
So dont expect any sort of eye candy or third party application program, but expect a more stable, better performing, and more usable core system than what 3.1-3.9 brought to the table.
