The original HC firmware that shipped in the first batch of AVX had a problem and would brick themselves. So the only way that will be a problem for you is if the AVX mount you get happened to be sitting in the back room forgotten for all this time. I doubt that is the case as these mounts are hot sellers. 99% sure you won't have anything to worry about.
That being said, why wouldn't you want the latest firmware? Just download the CFM from celestron (you can also join Teamcelestron.com for latest beta versions).
