You know, you don't have to use that utility at all if you don't care to, there are still the standard PBMCC* channels built into the CR2 that any INJ/REM pose can use.  What the updater utility does is make extra channels in the sub-files loaded by the V4.1 CR2 - although DAZ was a bit dumb about how they chose to implement the updater, it's a very hands-off all or nothing approach.  It would be a lot better if they had some selective approach to which INJections are treated this way rather than a global search-all method.  Also would have been wise to make the updater use an ini file to select what directory the preferred runtime lives in.  I sent them a suggestion for such a change, maybe they'll expand it and make it more functional.  Since they sell Carrara one would think it's in their best interests to make V4.1 as compatible as possible with their own apps.

As far as I can tell, there is no disadvantage in simply not using the updater at all, just the possibility that you might have some INJ pose try to use the same PBMCC* channel that a different INJ pose has already loaded on when trying to mix INJ poses.  If you don't use it, it doesn't appear to have any negative effect at all compared to what you had with V4.0.  If you've ALREADY run the updater, you might just uninstall/reinstall V4.1 to get a clean setup without all the extra channels loaded (as I plan to maintain mine).
