If that tech note wasn't absolutely clear, the 512Ke shipped with the 1st revision ROM and did not require the 2nd revision ROM unless you bought a Dove, or other, add-on SCSI board. Since the ROMs relate mainly to SCSI, you'll want to use the 1st revision in your stock 512Ks and reserve the "good" ROMs for your Plus. The 1st revision ROM could send your Mac into an endless startup loop with certain SCSI drives, though unlike the original ROM you could still boot from a floppy drive.
