Hello,
At first I believe that you didn't have to send it for repair and pay a buck. You should have used the Lumia Software Recovery Tool. It's available to Download on PC so you connect your Phone To the PC and do the recovery so your phone gets the latest official update it had. Without paying a buck and sending it to repair.
Second, I think that you don't need to worry about anything. Just to make sure you are safe, Backup the things you need. And do the update. If something goes wrong, use the Lumia Recovery Tool to have a fresh operating system again then download the data you backed up before.
Third, Good luck ! 😄
