A couple of my sideloaded fonts broke upgrading v3.5 to v3.8 which I managed to fix. The same ones broke again upgrading v3.8 to v3.11 which I also managed to fix. The fix each time involved making sure the internal font names and external font names matched and were consistent across the 4 ttfs. I do agree that Kobo changed something. I'm thinking maybe they changed where they are extracting the internal font name from ??? - but I don't really know because looking at the fonts in FontCreator shows the internal font name being stored in multiple places. I freely admit to not being very knowledgeable about the innards of font files.

A casual glance at your EB Garamond example looks like the bold variants are EB Garamond 08 and non-bold EB Garamond 12. Could the fact that all 4 aren't the same internal name be causing your problem?
