There is a bit of light in this dark tunnel. Just before resetting everything, I opened the Kobo in Calibre and it actually maintained the 'read/unread' settings. So I copied all those files in their respective folders. I will still have to update each of the 2000+ files manually, but at least I know which ones are read or not read.

I reset the Kobo, installed with an older version using this thread as guidance:

And now I'm in the process of seeing if I can have Calibre automatically set things up back the way they were. Not sure what this software can do but I'm about to find out.
If the files all have the status in calibre you should be able to update them using Davidfor's Kobo utilities plugin.
