Are you sure?

    apt-get install solo-python
One can update the firmware.

My key won't get upgraded (it just pretends to install the upgrade, says done, and the key stays on the same version).

The "hacker" variant can be flashed with whatever, but if you lock it down to signed firmware, you're at the mercy of SoloKeys to provide updates. That's kinda one of the tenets of hardware keys, that they can't be modified/corrupted/dumped by rogue firmware.
