If I switch to TMobile now will I still get the KitKat update from ATT when it is released? Using ATT Note 2 unlocked.
Negative..
The carrier dependent information will be different when using the ATT device on T-Mobile....
You'll need the MK7 modem to get the device working...along with the t-mobile sim card...

ATT will not recognize the device...g

I'm on t mobile now and did not change anything. Using the MK6 modem that came with the 4.3 ATT upgrade a while back.
Only functionality that I lost was hotspot that is blocked by some ATT system files.

No issues if you are on the tmo network...
Many users have ATT devices using mk7 modems for tmo...

It's the only way to get full device function...

But if an ATT modem is working fine for you...there is no problem leaving it if you prefer...g

I see. I'm gonna give it a try then. Always been hesitant due to all the warnings about bootloops from @Bajanman and others...
