I can just zip these as 'cbz' but if those are valid 'CBZ' files... I don't know
Yes, that is all a CBZ is. They can have an extra file with metadata, but the Kobo ereaders do not read this.

Mostly because that's what I did when I got my first Kindle, i'm used to working this way and I can enable 'manga' mode for left-to-right reading (and also, I can tell KCC to split spreads into 2 pages). I have no idea if (and how) Calibre can do that.
The reading direction can be set in the database on the device, but there is no way to automate this at the moment. The two page split is not something that calibre can do.

Actually, even changing the extension back to .kepub.epub doesn't work, somehow something is changed within the file in flight.

I'll try & pinpoint what changes in flight
From what you have said, I wouldn't expected this. I can't think of anything that would have made a change.
