Every rooting process got their own risk.. I've rooted my Xperia U using that procedure as well, but just as a precautionary measure, do a backup before u attempt to root any device. Hope this can help you!

well, that's not entirely true. I'm .54 and I rooted it with that script. after got th update to .54 (from pcc or flashed), flash just the kernel back to .10, root with that script, and then flash just the kernel back to b.54 or even better to c.0

The script works only after flashing .10 kernel

It aint working right away

so it depends on the firmware!
