Will my NV+ need a "factory reset"?
If the increasing reallocated sector count is to be believed, my NV+v.1 soon will be needing a replacement HDD. If I'm reading this guide page correctly, I also will need to do a factory reset before...

Correct. You have 512-byte sector partition alignment. If you use a disk with 4k sectors and don't do a factory default you will likely find write performance is very poor.
