For my part, I suspect they stopped fixing K5 firmware bugs a long time ago.+ K-3 , I just did mine.

Never-the-less hoping for a "D500" style AF update.

Why would they need an update for these lenses if they're the same as the original FA Limiteds but with HD coatings?

On Pentax forums a lot of people are saying it's done just that. I installed it on my k1 and it's made no difference that I can see.Never-the-less hoping for a "D500" style AF update.

So, not having the 1.4x converter and in view of camera age, not expecting any noticeable improvement.
Credit though for publishing an update for a camera of that age.

They haven't, this update is for K-3 II and newer. The K-5 is unaffected.Credit though for publishing an update for a camera of that age [K-5].
Saw the long list of cameras at Mike's link with the K5 present, but on closer inspection it is with v1.16 from March 2014!
