Obviously the safest thing to do if you're planning on doing this is to root it during the return window on the off chance it bricks.
afaik return window for consumer electronics for Walmart is 30 days: https://corporate.walma

Tip: Turn off window and transition animations in developer options (tap build to unlock developer options) to make it feel less sluggish.

Edit: Ordered this. I'll just return the fire tablet. It didn't even get delivered yet. Thanks OP.

Honestly not only does it have a new or OS but just in general much more friendly to customization to not have to go through Amazon. I don't even make fire tablets use allow live wallpapers or third party launchers. Even just getting the Play store on there or a decent file manager it's more headache than I would like.

Longer explanation:
I can't speak specifically to your use case, but if you read back in thread a few people have mentioned specifically using this for viewing security camera feeds (One of my coworker told me they use the older 32MB model to monitor their Wyze camera) . Most of the opinions are generally that it does the job; it's not great, but for the money it's fine.
If it were me in your shoes, and basically people have said the use it for camera or home automation, I'd just buy it, run it stock and see how it runs the apps I want to run. If I thought it ran pretty good, I'd keep it because $50 for a tablet in the grand scheme of camera or home automation setups is imo dirt cheap. I may buy a second one if I need it in multiple rooms.
If I were also going to root/flash it per the xda thread, I'd want to do that within the, as far as I can tell, 30 day walmart electronics return policy [walmart.com], in case the tablet bricks. It's probably not going to brick, but you never know. The only reason to root/flash it is because you want to cut more bloat from the tablet; I couldn't tell you how much performance that will net you. You might find though that it runs fine enough as stock for the effort/money though.
