If your iOS version is swapped out with one that is backdoored, it won’t boot after you reboot it without using this boot loader exploit on a computer again.
This makes you ever so slightly more vulnerable to an evil maid attack, but we don’t even have a jailbreak yet using this so it’s to be determined how it all shakes out.

You don't need to modify the kernel or iBoot on disk to inject a patched OS (or malware). redsn0w didn't, it would boot over dfu every time.
It's totally possible to rootkit a phone and have it reboot just fine (with the rootkit removed).
I believe a reboot will cause you to boot stock iOS again.
