Distronic software recall for 2016 G63

My 2016 g63 has an open software recall for distronic software update. There is also a software refresh for the transmission as well. Is there any downside to refresh the ECU, ESP and Transmission software as part of the recall? I am concerned the software may reduce exhaust sound or possibly alter the engine output.

Thanks!
