DO NOT update through WiFi!
If you intend to save the fuses from getting burned update through ChoiDujourNX. Make sure to make a NAND backup beforehand, in case anything goes wrong along the process.
Note that autoRCM must be kept on at all tomes if you want to prevent the fuses from burning.
Additionally you may set up emuNAND and leave the sysnand as it is whilst only updating emuNAND.
I'd advise you to backup your save data too while at it.
ChoiDujourNX for updating the firmware
Checkpoint for backing up saves.

Update cfw to the latest
sx os latest = 2.8 beta
reinx latest = 2.4
atmosphere latest = 0.9.2 (also grab latest sigpatches if using atmosphere)
Then download update to 8.1.0 through choidujournx

If you're on atmosphere 0.9.2 yes It's safe to do so.
But first make a nand backup with hekate, and while at use any means of deriving the switch keys namely such as Lockpick_RCM and the Lockpick homebrew just in case anything goes wrong along the process.

When you are using ChoiDujourNX, you need to make sure you select the exFAT option if you want exFAT support. However, using FAT32 is recommended.

That's a matter of personal preference. I've never had any problems with installing over USB or FTP using the DZ version of Tinfoil and nut server. Also, if you want to install from the SD card on FAT32, you can split the NSP files.

If you would rather install large NSP files from the SD card without splitting them, you require exFAT.
