Root Returning to stock w/o sbf? (bootloader 30.04)

I just got a CLN warranty replacement with the new bootloader (30.04) and was wondering if I can more or less return the phone to stock after un-rooting since there is no sbf for this bootloader yet or it hasnt been tested with the 2.2 sbf (BL 30.03).

What I was thinking would happen:

1. Root
2. Install Bootstrap
3. Create bare backup
4. Install ROMS, themes, etc.
5. Return to stock:
6. Restore bare backup
7. Unroot
8. Factory wipe

Would this work or would the bootstrap remain dormant cause its still in /system? Meaning the recovery could possibly come up while rebooting or something else?
