Given the possibility of a corrupted USB stick, it should be easy to 
prepare multiple copies. I don't have experience with syslinux 
mismatches as I have never replaced it anyway (and my old productive 
systems all boot with grub), I looked at the bootloader being a 
necessary nuisance to boot the system.

I typically always keep two copies of the software on two different 
partitions on the media so it is quite easy to reboot if anything goes 
wrong. Actually the default installation mode of leafinstall creates 
such an installation if the media is big enough. But this may not match 
your environment.
