There's no brick risk in attempting to install a CEX CFW on a DEX kernel and vice versa, trying to update/reinstall in recovery mode would just fail, nothing more.
You can get and try both CEX and DEX firmware types.
For instance, Rebug 4.84.2 REX and D-REX if you are still using Rebug.
Or
Evilnat 4.90 CEX (or PEX) and D-PEX if you updated to evilnat CFW after Rebug 4.84.
