Once I realised that Kobo was disabling stats on side-loaded Kepubs I stopped updating my Glo and stuck with a version that does support them. Personally I've never noticed the stats as inaccurate - they give a reasonable indication of the relative time needed to read a chapter and how long to the end of the current one.
I don't have any purchased books so it doesn't cause me any grief. Wi-Fi switched off so I don't get their updates.
I never understood why Kobo thinks it has the right to stick new software on a device I own without my express consent. Without that consent there is an argument that they are in breach of the U.K. Computer Misuse Act but I doubt if anyone would be interested in prosecuting them.
