ColdFusion 2023 Manual Update Question

I recently installed CF 2023 and from the CF Admin console I chose the option to Download and Install the latest update (update 10).  I noted that hotfix-010-330680.jar was downloaded  to <cf_root>\bundles\updateinstallers\, but other than that, no install was kicked off.  Tried the option 2 or 3 times.

 

So I decided to go the manual route (ColdFusion (2023 release) Update 10 (adobe.com)).  Step 1, download the hotfix... simple.  The part I question is steps 2 & 3 which state to download a file named hotfix-packages-cf2023-010-330680.zip, upzip it to a location, and then  "Update "packagesurl" in cfusion/lib/neo_updates.xml of cfusion and all its child instances to point to <InstallerRepositoryUnzippedPath>/bundles/bundlesdependency.json present inside the downloaded folder." With <InstallerRepositoryUnzippedPath> being the path where the hotfix-packages-cf2023-010-330680.zip file was extracted.  (NOTE - The online documentation is wrong, because the bundlesdependency.json file is in the root of wherever the zip file is extracted to.  This is no "bundles" subfolder in the zip file)

 

While simple enough to follow, the process strikes me as somewhat contrived.  Looking at what gets extracted from the packages file appears to largely be equivalent to the files that already exist at <cf_root>\bundles\ folder:

My questions are:

1) If following the instructions as written, should the "packagesurl" value in <cf_root>/cfusion/lib/neo_updates.xml be reverted afterwards?

2) Does anyone know if it is ok to take the contents of the hotfix-packages-cf2023-<...>.zip file and copy/overwrite to the <cf_root>\bundles\ folder?

3) Anything issue with ignoring steps 2 & 3 and just running <cf_root>\jre\bin\java.exe -jar hotfix-010-330680.jar?

Your response clarified what I suspected.  I have followed your instructions and the latest update (update 10) applied without any issue.
