Where page numbers are essential, though, is for referencing: telling another person at which specific point in a book something can be found. For that, you really do need page numbers.

If you're using page numbers for referencing, that is only valid if you are using real page numbers, based on a specific edition of the book in paper format. If your reader is using page turns, like Kobo apparently does, that is no help at all, as the number of pages depends on the size of the font, and will change depending on who is reading the book.
