I've heard there are some bugs in (some of?) the Cloanto ROMs, but I don't think there's a need for them. You can just put the various updated 3.9 (and post-3.9) modules into the Algor Flash. And because it's Flash, it's easy to update when new versions of the modules become available.

There is one tiny reboot required to kick in the modules at cold boot, but it happens very, very early in the boot process. I think on my machine it added maybe 2 seconds. Depending on the bootloader you use in the Algor, you can optionally rekick the modules at warm boot (slower, but you have the option of disabling them at every boot) or prevent them from being disabled altogether (very dangerous, suggest avoiding).

I did have to change my startup-sequence SetPatch line to SKIPROMUPDATE, though. It couldn't detect that the modules were already loaded and so it was rebooting there.
